A picture of graphic self harm (cutting) exists on the Wikipedia page for BPD. Should it be removed, replaced, or left as-is?

A lot of discussion has already taken place, my favorite is:

&gt; This image accurately depicts self-harm and is useful to a friend or family member looking for signs that their loved is suffers from borderline. However, this page is also accessed by people attempting to understand their mental illness and therefore seek help for it. That image can cause a major setback for a person doing their best to understand and work to improve their mental health. I implore you to remove the image entirely or replace it with another representation of self-harm. For example, an image of hair pulling with bald spots would be less triggering or trigger fewer people. An image that would be truly helpful is that of somebody using a self-harm substitute. Popular methods suggested by therapists include drawing red lines with a marker on the area that is typically cut, snapping a rubber band on the wrist, or holding onto an ice cube to create pain from numbness. Such as image would have a dual benefit of depicting of self-harm while showing a person who may engage in those acts a less destructive outlet for the urge. A picture of healed wounds would achieve the goal of showing the result of self-harm without presenting the trigger of fresh blood, which is often a goal for engaging in cutting. Thank you for your understanding.

However, the power user for this WIkipedia page is still unwilling to remove/replace the image. This is his current reason as of Aug 2nd:

&gt; With respect to the argument that images can trigger people with BPD. 1) I have not seen any evidence 2) are we going to remove images from cannabis, cocaine, heroin, cigarettes, and alcohol as they might trigger those with drug use disorder? - Doc James

From this community, can we please show that:

1. This image is triggering.
2. The page for BPD is not the right place to set precedent for images of cannabis, cocaine, heroin, cigarettes, and alcohol. Those users can discuss their opinions on the relevant pages.

Most importantly --&gt; **What would you like the image changed to?**
