Symptom Shifting From Nonsuicidal Self-Injury to Substance Use and Borderline Personality Pathology
In this cohort study of adolescent patients with NSSI behavior, a decline in this behavior was commonly paired with an increase in substance use. This finding suggests that a decrease in NSSI behavior alone may be insufficient to indicate treatment success. Monitoring the joint trajectories of NSSI behavior and substance use may be a promising avenue toward early detection and targeted treatment of adolescent borderline personality pathology.
