I'm sorry Suzir. I don't have any great advice, only to say, I would just wait and watch and see what happens.
There were times when I just prayed that difficult child would stay alive, hoping that time and him getting older would in some way decrease the strange behavior. Maybe that has happened, in part.
My best friend's son cut himself for a long time in high school and was subsequently diagnosed as bipolar after several inpatient stays. He is on medications for that and today lives a balanced life, finished a master's degree, got married and works in the film industry.
This is hard stuff, to watch, I know.
