Resumé

Approximately 10% of adolescents suffer from chronic somatic illness. Recent research shows that chronically ill adolescents are at increased risk of self-harm compared to their healthy peers. Regarding adolescents with co-occurring mental illness, the prevalence of
self-harm is especially increased. In addition, low adherence and risk behavior may represent types of indirect self-harm that are accessible for young people with chronic conditions. The article will also focus on how adolescents with co-occurring physical and mental
conditions are located in the intersection of the classifications in healthcare; child/adult and somatic/psychiatry and how self-harm should be viewed in a broader perspective in relation to young people with chronic illness.
