Definition

An act of Suicide which does not end in the Mort of the person is called “suicide attempt”. Suicide attempts (TS) are much more numerous than the Suicide S.

The suicide attempts are particularly frequent in the old girls from 13 to 25 years, nine times out of ten by Intoxication voluntary Médicamenteuse (IMV).

The starting factors are generally related to a Sentiment of Abandon or nonReconnaissance on behalf of the close relations (Ami S, family). The sentimental rupture, the family or interpersonal conflict are the most current releases, but the feeling of loss can be related to a real Deuil. Whatever the gravity of the TS, there is always a distress which must be taken into account and not summarily reported to the exercise of a emotional Chantage (even when the TS is intended for " to make pression" on the entourage).

According to Xavier Pommereau, Psychiatrist in load of a dedicated service in the center Abadie (CHU of Bordeaux), the young girls concerned do not seek to die, but rather with to break with their Souffrance. They have indeed the Impression not to find any exit and to be invaded by the discomfort. They thus try to find a loophole. The Running away, the Intoxication, the Scarification S are as much of " coupures" that they implement to this end before thinking of making suicide attempts. For this reason they generally choose non-violent means, as the “Overdose” when they pass to the act.

The people who try to commit suicide are generally not reached a Maladie S serious physics or low registers Dépression S even if the factors Psychologique S are particularly important there.

The social problems are the most frequent causes: Conflict with the family, difficult Childhood, problem with the alcohol, violent behavior. The people having to face this type of problems become anxious and depressed; in reaction to a new situation of particular Crisis, they crack and try to commit suicide. The Motivation S are rather complex: for example a Desire to relieve a too strong emotional suffering, or the need to communicate its Sentiment S. the suicide attempts can also result from an internal conflict between the desire to finish some with the life and that to continue to live.
