Why have employers started asking deep personal questions?

I’ve seen a few times on Reddit of people being asked unnecessary questions such as “Do you have a good relationship with your parents?” And the like. My partner has been applying for work recently and while doing the contractual stuff he’s being asked specific questions about if you’ve ever attempted to self terminate or self harm. Surely these are questions employers should NOT be asking? Something about this is really rubbing me the wrong way.
