Dear NKP, physically self-destructive behavior is a fairly common symptom of depression -- cutting, biting, burning, etc. It sounds to me as if the MD who treated you was indeed very insensitive, but he was probably right that you ought to see your psychiatrist or therapist. There are treatments for the behavior.
