Yes but what I'm asking is - is the amount of time it is done in direct correlation with the severity of a (or the) problem? If someone does it once a month versus someone who does it everyday, would (for an example) a therapist take someone who does it everyday more seriously than the person who does it once a month? Or would they think something alone the lines of "Oh, once a month? Meh, she's doing it for attention. Now this girl, everyday, we need to get her some help..."

Do you see what I'm sayin?
