NSSI (Non-suicidal self-injury) is the intentional self-inflicted harm of one's body without suicidal intent, and cutting is a common form of NSSI. Monica's behavior of cutting herself with a pocketknife is consistent with NSSI as a way of gaining attention. DID (Dissociative identity disorder) involves the presence of two or more distinct personality states, OCD (Obsessive-compulsive disorder) involves repetitive and intrusive thoughts and behaviors, and PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder) involves experiencing traumatic events followed by symptoms of re-experiencing, avoidance, and hyperarousal. Monica's behavior is not characteristic of any of these disorders.
