We aimed to use resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) to investigate the functional connectivity difference between depressed patients with and without self-harm history as well as healthy participants. The graph theoretical analysis (GTA) and network-based statistic (NBS) analysis were also used to find the network difference between each group. In GTA and NBS analyses revealed different topological organization and poor global integration of the brain network in depressed participants compared with healthy participants. We suggested that depressed patients with or without self-harm history may affect their brain functional connectivity.
