N2  - In the adult, depression and suicide are strongly linked, and the effectiveness of the gesture is correlated with the depth of depression. In the adolescent, a correlation between suicide and depression was long denied because of the particularity of the signs of depression at that age. Presently, such a correlation is accepted, as shown by epidemiologic studies (retrospective and prospective) in suicidal or depressed adolescents. In the general population a relationship between the depressive state and the idea of suicide appears significant. From the psychopathological standpoint, a suicide attempt appears as a desire to attack one's own body, and depression as an impossibility to separate oneself from one's infant past, by which both differ from manifestations in the adult.<p />  <p>Language: fr</p>
