What ways do people SI?
SI is usually split into three catergories: Psychotic, Organic, and Typical. Psychotic SI Types of Psychotic SI include the removal or amputation of body parts, such as eyes, limbs, ears, and genitals. These acts of SI are usually done in response to visual or audible hallucinations. This type of SI is severe and is easily identified. Organic SI Organic SI usually stems from autistic disorders, developmental disabilities, and other psychologically induced disorders. This type of SI is always influenced by physical or chemical problems in the body. Forms of Organic SI include head-banging and lip-biting. Typical SI Typical SI results because of emotional or psychological reasons not related to psychotic (hearing voices, seeing things that aren’t there, delusions) or organic (physical) conditions. The majority of the people who SI fall into this catergory. This type of SI is used to make yourself feel better and as a way of coping with your life.
