About this study
The patients included in the study will be adult women who are victims of domestic violence, consulting for this reason. The duration of participation of each patient will be one hour.
After obtaining the patient's non-opposition to her participation in the study, socio-demographic and history of violence suffered will be collected during an interview with the doctor/nurse. After that, the hetero-questionnaire MADRS (Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale) will be administered to the patient. This first part will last 30 minutes.
