The answer to your question is yes it can. I had the features of self-harming behaviors which involved cutting, suicidal thoughts, over eating which included binge eating and under-eating, Feelings of emptiness, paranoid delusions, anger issues which made me snappy, problems with self image and the sense of who I was and my identity to the world, high levels of uncontrolled anxiety. This was due to problems with bullies in the workplace and not being able to fight back. However I will say this a strong controlled loving household (my parents) got me through this with positivity and self belief and convincing me that I wasn't a victim!
