One must note the difficulties the doctor may find in front such problems to judge the reliability of interviews made in such difficult conditions. Residual disturbances of superior functions, more precisely of vigilance during the period with follow the suicidal action must not be overlooked. Thanks to a clinical scale easily used the residual disturbances have been put in evidence on a sample of 20 subjects who had been admitted with this aim in view in a university ward specialized in psychiatric emergencies. The possibility of continuity within middle range care must allow an improvement of minimum care of such pathologies.
