title: [Mamadou or anxiety resulting from a departure for the European Eldorado].
abstract: Candidates for emigration are susceptible to a psychotic breakdown accompanied by feelings of guilt arising from abandoning their community of origin. The elimination of this guilt involves, essentially, a denial of identity with a touch of megalomania which makes treatment difficult.
