Wanting to hurt yourself, is there a condition around that?

[Brem]

I am curious, are there any mental health conditions that manifest in a way that makes you want to hurt yourself? Maybe it's something simple like picking at your skin or pulling out hair. Or even worse to the point you're cutting yourself. I imagine there is a mental health condition fueling such a thing in someone. What could that condition be?

There might be different kinds of conditions related to a feeling where you want to hurt yourself. Self harming or self destructive is also a mental health condition. Self harm can also be related to suicidal tendency. This kind of issue can be linked to depression, PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, etc.
