Abstract

Nearly 800,000 people die by suicide each year worldwide. Up to 75% of suicidal patients consulted their general practitioner in the months preceding their attempt. A study, conducted among 167 practitioners in Champagne-Ardenne in 2016-2017, aims to evaluate the practices of general practitioners in the management of suicidal crisis, particularly according to the age of the patient. It provides elements for reflection on their role in suicide prevention.

Keywords: depression; dépression; elderly people; general medicine; médecine générale; personne âgée; prévention du suicide; suicide prevention.
