Nonsuicidal self-injury and substance use disorders: A shared language of addiction
Proceedings of the Eighth Workshop on Computational Linguistics and Clinical Psychology, 2022
This paper explores similar language between people posting on Reddit about nonsuicidal self-injury and substance use disorders, namely recovery and support. We found that while people who self-injure conceptualize their condition as an addiction, they experience different comorbidites than people with substance use disorders.
