148. Non-Suicidal Self-Injury: Neurobiological Findings From Animal Models

However, symptom expression can be heterogeneous within diagnostic categories and homogeneous across diagnostic categories. Accordingly, many recent investigations have focused upon identification and treatment of specific behavioural phenotypes. Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a phenotype that is highly prevalent in neuropsychiatric disorders, including Borderline Personality Disorder.
