Brugada syndrome is a rare genetic disease of autosomal dominant inheritance with low penetrance, manifested by ST segment elevation at right precordial V1, V2 and V3 shunts, and a right bundle branch block aspect at the electrocardiogram. It exposes to a high risk of ventricular arrhythmia that can cause syncope (fainting) and even sudden death on a structurally normal heart. We report here the case of a 25-year-old patient with neuroleptic-induced Brugada syndrome. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of neuroleptics-induced Brugada syndrome, Morocco. Therapeutic management is based on Amiodarone and beta-blockers. Regular monitoring of the ECG should be performed, however, on patients taking psychotropic drugs and also during associations.
Objective: Over the past decade, and despite the increasing awareness of suicide attempts among adults in Morocco, there was no complete system of statistics. As a result, the socio-demographic profile of reported adult suicide attempts varied in some studies. The purpose of this study was to provide the socio-demographic and clinical profile of suicide attempts in adults in a Moroccan hospital.Methods: A retrospective study of a descriptive type carried out in Psychiatric University Hospital Arrazi-Salé during one and a half year (January 2016 to April 2017). The information was collected using a pre-established questionnaire based on medical records. The data entry and statistical evaluation were performed by the SPSS software (20.0).Results: A total of 62 patients were recruited, 32 women and 30 men who met the eligibility criteria. The profile of the suicidal attempters who must be kept in the hospital to prevent a suicidal recidivism is a young adult between the ages of 25 and 40, male, with psychiatric disorder: mood disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorder, borderline personality disorder, histrionic or psychopathic personality, alcohol or other psychoactive substance dependence, familial and emotional connectedness, material deprivation with previous suicide attempt that demonstrates the possibility of acting out because as we known that the risk of recidivism increases with the number of previous attempts.Conclusion: The development of repeated epidemiological surveys makes it possible to better understand the prevalence of suicide attempts in Morocco and to implement suicide prevention programs.

La cardiopathie de stress ou Tako Tsubo est une pathologie cardiaque évoquant un syndrome coronarien aigu, avec signes électrocardiographiques, augmentation des enzymes cardiaques, mais où la coronarographie ne retrouve pas d'anomalie. Elle touche généralement des femmes ménopausées, dans les suites d'un stress intense. Le mode de début est variable, depuis la douleur angineuse le plus souvent jusqu'au tableau de choc cardiogénique. Le mécanisme physiopathologique exact de l'affection reste débattu. Plusieurs hypothèses sont invoquées, dont la plus crédible semble être un hyperadrénergisme brutal, lié au stress. Notamment il n'existe pas de consensus sur le traitement et la prévention. On peut alors s'interroger sur l'existence d'une pathologie psychiatrique sous-jacente ou une personnalité prédisposée et donc sur la place du psychiatre dans cette prise en charge.
