Multiple attempt to cut wrist and suicidal tendency points toward severe psychiatric illness like depression and psychosis along with some personality disorder related traits. Some time because of lack of insight it is difficult to bring patient in treatment.
Many time in severe cases, along with counseling drug treatment is needed. As he is having suicidal ideation, then urgent and involuntary treatment may be needed in his case. For help it is better to visit nearby psychiatrist.
Wish you good health and all the best.
