Abstract
⺠One possible function of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is affect regulation. ⺠Endogenous opioids may be involved in affect regulation via NSSI. ⺠We propose that individuals who engage in NSSI have low resting opioid levels. ⺠We also proposed that NSSI releases opioids which regulate affect.
