Abstract

In the majority of the Western countries, death by suicide became the second cause of death to adolescence after car accidents. Every year in France, more than 500 young people commit suicide and 6.5% of secondary school youths made a suicide attempt. Thus, detecting teenagers with a high suicidal risk is a significant objective for any doctor. But often, psychic suffering progresses unseen: behavioural problems, somatizations, repeated accidents⋯ How to broach the subject during an ordinary consultation? Doctors can, for example, lean on the Binder test to detect suicidal ideation and evaluate its seriousness. © 2006 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.
