Abstract

Suicidal behaviour, notably in the elderly, is a complex phenomenon which is part of a process which is often pathological. The suicidal crisis is thereby difficult to detect in the elderly. However, there are tools and multidisciplinary strategies which must be favoured and which enable the risk and protection factors to be analysed in order to prevent suicide in old age.
