abstract="The author presents a descriptive study focused on the replenishment of a suicide attempt. Thirty-three suicide attempters have agreed to answer a semi-structured interview (interview IMSA) to reconstruct the sequence of events pre-suicide and mental condition of the subject at the time when he proceeded to act. The results show that 82% of them had behavioral preparatory gesture and 75.8% a real suicidal scenario. The data also suggest the existence of a transition phase before the act consisting in tonic disturbance and/or a conditioning state. At the time of the suicidal gesture, 59.4% of patients reported an altered state of consciousness and 60% experience a phenomenon of intense emotional confusion. The author also stresses unusual clinical manifestations at the subjective sensation of movement and the sudden loss of motor control. © 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS.<p /><p>Language: fr</p>",
