Abstract

Nowadays, few cancer patients are hospitalized in psychiatry. These kinds of hospitalization often occur during suicidal crisis, as it happened for Miss G., a 26-year-old patient, suffering from a cerebral primitive cancer. She was hospitalized twice within a few weeks, for two violent suicidal attempts with a depression context. The authors insist on the diagnosis of depression, of which aetiologies are often complex, and on the necessity to seek out comorbidities as endocrine disorders. © 2008.
