Again, nothing illegal about whipping yourself, stupid.

nominally no, but you may be incarcerated
in a mental institution for it, ie imprisoned.

Nope, not even in the UK.

Not impresoned but you would be direct towards being helped as it would be seen as self harm.

If people deliberately injure themselves they're liable to be detained against their will. That is imprisonment. As for being helped, I doubt there's much likelihood of that in a psych ward. They're just overpriced warehousing with forced pseudomedical treatment.
