Italian term or phrase: scopo anticonservativo
From a medical journal article about catatonia and neuroleptic malignant syndrome presenting three case reports. The source reads:

Nel settembre 2008, in relazione temporale con eventi stressanti in ambito familiare, la paziente iniziava a lamentare ansia, tensione interna e insonnia e a novembre dello stesso anno assumeva una dose incongrua del farmaco, non a ***scopo anticonservativo***, ma per attenuare uno stato soggettivo di angoscia intollerabile.

My current translation is "not to harm herself". What do others think?
