Мodern models of social prevention of autoaggressive behavior

Abstract

The article focuses on international and national experience in the prevention of autoaggressive behavior. Autoaggressive behavior encompasses a range of behaviors in which people intentionally or unintentionally inflict physical, emotional, or psychological harm on themselves. It is indicated that this phenomenon is complex and multifaceted, influenced by biological (such as neurochemical imbalance and serotonin dysregulation), psychological, and social factors. Self-harm can manifest itself in various forms, including self-mutilation (cuts, burns), substance abuse, risky behavior, and neglect of personal health. Social, psychological, and medical approaches to the causes of such behavior are considered. It is found that autoaggression is a mechanism for overcoming excessive emotions, feelings of worthlessness, or serious psychological stress; it can also be a form of self-punishment or a way to gain a sense of control or temporary relief from emotional stress. The role of social prevention in creating a safer and more supportive environment is revealed, which can significantly mitigate auto-aggressive behavior and promote mental well-being, especially among young people.
