abstract="The old age psychiatric daycare hospital of the Vaud University Hospital (CHUV), in Switzerland, follows up on elderly ambulatory patients with psychiatric disease. This article relates our team's first time experience with a patient who, while she was being treated in our unit for severe depression, cognitive symptoms and a borderline personality disorder, died at home via a suicide organization. Assisted suicide, allowed by the Swiss law, is also discussed in this article and, in addition, a few professional medico-ethics directives, with an emphasis on decision-making capacity are presented. © 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS.<p /><p>Language: fr</p>",
