Evaluation of Cognitive Function in a Suicidal Crisis

• Conditions: Suicide

• Registration Number: NCT03519802
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Lille

Brief Summary

The aftermath of suicide is devastating, being the cause of 800 000 deaths every year worldwide. In France, suicide still causes about 10 000 deaths per year and the number of suicide attempts (SA) is estimated between 170 000 and 200 000 per year (InVS).

It is often thought that a suicidal crisis is only related to depression, as it actually is a far more complex phenomenon. A suicidal crisis can occur on various grounds like psychiatric disorders but also contextual events or somatic diseases and it has been hypothesized that suicidal ideas or inclinations could have a common and independent cognitive origin
