Mental Illness and self harm

2018-06-08 03:44:53
Sir, One of my friends is suffering from mental illness. She often complains about experiencing guilt, shame, anger, pain simultaneously. That leads her to do self harm. She has had a bad past, memories of those keep haunting her. Please suggest a way out of this.
