Self Harm; Hitting myself on my head.

2018-06-10 16:00:17
I was depressed over the course of the past few weeks and have indulged in self harm, usually by hitting myself on my head. I was just concerned whether this might cause any cognitive issues. If so how can I keep my cognitive functions at its peak.

Get a detailed psychiatric evaluation and get treated for depression. Neurological evaluation will be required to look for any brain injury. Best regards.
