This category includes high-risk behaviors that are undertaken with a reckless disregard for personal safety but not necessarily with clear suicidal intent. These actions can still be life-threatening and are often a sign of underlying distress, impulsivity, or a diminished sense of self-worth. Addressing the root cause of these behaviors is a key part of therapy.
