Abstract

A subject surviving a suicide attempt (SA) belongs in fact to a group at risk for suicide (40% of lifetime repetition including 20 to 25% over the 12 months following the initial gesture). To prevent the risk of suicide in general is thus effective on the prevention of the repetition. It initially seems important to treat a somatic or psychiatric pathology having taken part in the initial suicidal context: treating a mood depression disorder, prescribing a mood stabilizer to a bipolar patient, managing the global treatment of a borderline personality disorder, etc. Some strategies have been proposed with a specific aim to reduce this rate of suicidal repetition. Certain devices very interventionists appear expensive and difficult to generalize (at home interventions, intensive short psychotherapies carried out starting from the Emergency Rooms...). In a parallel way, "connectedness" devices, which are careful not to invade the suicide attempter life, which does not aim to replace a treatment, but try to propose effective recourse in case of crisis, tend to currently develop on the whole territory.
