Self‐Harm Significantly Higher in Populations with ADHD, Anxiety, ASD, Depression, and Eating Disorders. I appreciated your recent paper on the large and well‐matched studies on nonfatal self‐harm and suicide among adolescents in the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (Cybulski et al. 2021). This large study involved 56,008 self‐harm cases and 1,399,356 controls aged 10–19 years and reported that many diagnoses were associated with significantly higher rates of self‐harm. Compared to controls, the risk of self‐harm was significantly higher in attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (OR 3.3, 95% CI 3.1–3.4), anxiety disorder (OR 3.8, 95% CI 3.7–3.9), autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (OR 2.4, 95% CI 2.3–2.6), depression (OR 7.9, 95% CI 7.8–8.2), and eating disorders (OR 3.1, 95% CI 3.0–3.2) (Cybulski et al. 2021)
