Substance Dependence A pattern of substance use that leads to significant impairment or distress in three (or more) of the following ways: tolerance, as defined by either o a need for markedly increased amounts of the substance to achieve the desired effect, or o a markedly diminished effect with continued used of the same amount of the substance withdrawal symptoms characteristic for the substance, or increased use to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms the substance is taken in larger amounts or over a longer period than intended a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control substance use much time is spent in activities to obtain the substance, use the substance, or recover from its effects important social, occupational, or recreational activities are given up or reduced the substance use is continued despite it causing a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem (e.g., current cocaine use despite recognition of cocaine-induced depression)
Self-Injurious Behaviours and Suicidality in Borderline Disorder by Robert O. Friedel, MD In a recent study, approximately 75 percent of women with borderline disorder engaged in self-injurious behaviours such as cutting, burning and small drug overdoses. Cutting is by far the most common act of this type. About 9 percent of people with the disorder commit suicide. The most frequent means is by drug overdose. Both types of behaviour may occur in the same individual. Cutting behaviours double the risk of suicide in people with borderline disorder. Self-Injurious Behaviours In addition to cutting and burning themselves, and taking small drug overdoses, people with borderline disorder hit themselves, pull out their hair, scratch their skin to the point they open wounds, and injure themselves in other ways. Most people with the disorder who injure themselves report that they do so mainly to decrease the intense emotional pain they experience. Remarkably, they also often report that the first time they engaged in cutting and other self injurious behaviours, the idea just came to them. Finally, they report that these acts usually do result in brief emotional relief. It is important that family and other loved ones understand that this is the main motive of self injurious behaviours, not primarily to manipulate the situation or the people around them, though this is often a secondary motive. 131
