Hello,

The behavior of your daughter is not normal and she needs immediate consultation with an expert psychiatrist without delay. There can be underlying depression or other comorbid disorders involving the central nervous system which provokes such suicidal behavior and attempts as well. Till that time, take care that she does not stay alone at home, otherwise she may end up with complete suicide as well.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
