Self harm is not generally regarded as an “epidemic”, and generally fails to receive much media coverage; unless in linkage with a suicide. We all know suicide kills people (over 800,000 people a year), but we generally have the wrong (and sometimes lethal) idea that self harm doesn't kill, and if it does; it’s only a few right?
If over 880,000 a year is a few; then yeah… Just a few. [1]
