When someone cuts their arms, does that mean they have a mental illness?

If someone is a cutter and have an urge to cut, do they have a mental problem? I read somewhere that they have a problem but i wasnt sure. What is it? What makes it a mental problem? Why does cutting make it a mental problem?
Thanks for the Answers :)
 
It isn't mental.. It's an act to get people to notice so they can get attention.. It's instinct.
Babies cry when they are hungry..
Hence, humans cut for attention. Whether they believe that or not.
 
Not necessarily. Not if they're just cutting themselves just for kicks, then they might be just sadistic lol. But otherwise yes, they have some form of mental problem, and it depends on the reason for cutting what the specific mental problem is. A mental problem is something messed up in someones brain which people think isn't normal just to clarify that. People don't "Just cut cause there depressed". What kind of fu*ked up logic is that????
 
people cut when they're depressed. not because of a mental problem!
it's just because of extreme depression that they have an urge to cut.
 
Alot of times its the only way that they can vent. Sometimes people cut just to get attention, which I'm pretty sure is a mental illness. Also it can run smoothly into suicidal tendencies.
I used to cut for the attention, but I got tired of the attention and stopped, then started up again because I realized it was the only way for me to vent. I was also very suicidal for a time, and still am a little, I'm just more content with living until my life ends.
So I'm a product of all three of those points.
 
These people have severe mental problems exacerbated by their cutting for reason 99% of the people don't understand.
Cutting release endorphins that produse a high that these people get gratification and sympathy from people that they they be learned to manipulate as a way of life.
It's like a poor me victim user a true passive aggressive user.
They act dumb but are fare from it and match up with other even smarter lazy users to abuse the system.

NO.
Society just likes to say everything that's 'normal' according to them in a mental illness because they want you to fit into their cookie cutter.
