Suggest Treatment For Stress And Depression

I get worked up from time to time and it tends to result in me self harming, either by scratching or cutting or mixing pills and alcohol, also I recently got worked up and locked myself in a room repeating 'make it stop' over and over, huddled in a corner with my fingers in my ears and elbows round head, which I know sounds pathetic, especially because it was just because I couldn't see myself meeting the target of work I'd set myself. I have exams coming up as a lot do and I know it's normal to expect stress but I feel as if my behaviour could affect my performance in them. Is this behaviour worth consulting a doctor about or is it likely to be seen as within the realm of normality?

Hi

i had gone through your query.

You seems to have suicidal ideation with impulsivity.

It can be a part of severe depression or borderline personality trait.

Alcohol abuse with medicines seems to be like severe psychological distress.

You will require indoor psychiatric care with rehabilitation.

It can be treated with multi modality approach that include medicines, Psychotherapy and counseling, rehabilitation etc.

Consult psychiatrist and get further assistance.
