Of course this doesn't make it okay.
But understanding is a step towards solving the problem.

There are a couple of schools of thought that I am observing:

A: they do it to get attention.

B: there's an issue and they can't help it

In my view:

Either way, these two schools of thought only deal with the behavior.

This woman said she didn't have the right insurance to get comprehensive treatment for it.

I am also struck by the idea of it still being an unknown!

I mean, many people, I hear talk about it, are people who underwent trauma .

We need funds and better health insurance for study and treatment!

Many of these disorders have root causes. This woman felt like she had to have control over what happened to her physically.
