J Pak Psych Soc Jan ;7(2):67-70.

Suicide is existing on an alarming scale in local context with a pattern comparable to the changing trend in the developing world. Improving awareness about suicide and suicidal behavior including deliberate self harm is becoming the reason for comparatively more reporting of DSH now a day. There is a need for urgent measures in this direction including compilation of culturally specific scientific data at a national level. A multicentre study with homogenous parameter on different issues of deliberate self harm may be design to achieve the nationwide data which will be helping in order to understand the problem of deliberate self harm.
