What are people who self mutilate called?

In: Mental Health, Depression and Bipolar Disorder, Self Mutilation [Edit categories]

Answer:

Some people call them 'cutters' or 'emo,' although neither of these words are really very polite, and 'emo' isn't accurate; not all people who are emo self-harm and not all people who self-harm are emo. In fact, 'self-harmer' is probably the best word to describe someone who self-mutilates.
