Self-inflicted wound

A self-inflicted wound (SIW) or self-inflicted injury (SII) is a physical injury done to oneself. This may occur in contexts including:

Suicide or suicide attempt[1]
Self-harm (non-suicidal self-injury)[1]
As a result of an organic brain syndrome[2]^: S82
Pursuit of an ulterior motive, including:
- To avoid military service[3]^: 96
Self-surgery,[2]^: S82 including:
Body modification, including for ritual purposes[3]^: 71
Autoeroticism[2]^: S82

While some sources use the terms to include accidental injury,[5]^: 408 others cast "self-inflicted" in opposition to "accidental".[6][7][8]

The term is also used metaphorically, akin to "shooting oneself in the foot".
