"Possible Motivations" as a sub-section

I wanted to find out if my ideas for the improvement of the Self-harm article are supported by people (other than me). This improvement focuses on the "Psychology" portion of the article.

I'm not sure whether this request is a peer review or an RfC. Regarding the proposed change, I suggest paragraph form with subheadings. The article already has one section in bullet form and it doesn't look good. Other general suggestions: expand the lead beyond one short paragraph. Add more citations, particularly for statements such as the one that concludes the article, "Self-harm is more common than many people realise, especially in adolescents under stress. People who self-harm often feel a great amount of guilt as it is, so when encountering or discovering self-harm it is vital that support and understanding be shown, for the good of all involved."
