Why do some people slap themselves?

It's not that they enjoy it. It's more like a compulsion.

2. Some do it because of mental disorders
hitting, hair-pulling, scratching, cutting etc are symptoms associated with several disorders.

You could include "self-harm" in your keywords and find a lot of articles on line.
