Absolutely not! x
A disease is defined as; a disordered or incorrectly functioning organ, part, structure, or system of the body resulting from the effect of genetic or developmental errors, infection, poisons... or unfavorable environmental factors; illness; sickness; ailment. (dictionary.com!)
Self mutilation is not even classed as an actual mental illness!
It is what professionals may call a 'symptom. It is a sign that something (emotionally) is 'wrong' and a person is finding something (or many things) difficult to cope with!
It may be a sign of depression or other such conditions! ... but is definitely not a disease.
I hope this helps you?! :)
