About

The research focuses on "High Potential" (HP) in adolescence, in a link with the professional practice of the investigators.

Furthermore, supported by scientific literature and professional clinical practice, this research is interested in school boredom, regularly expressed by the consulting adolescents, in its relation with a depressive syndrome.

The objective of the research is to know if school boredom is a precursor of a depressive episode in high school students with HP compared to high school students without HP.

Full description

The investigators are questioning the meaning of school boredom experienced by adolescents with HP and its link with a depressive syndrome. The investigators will use clinical interviews, rating scales for a quantitative measure and projective tests for a psychodynamic study. The responses of adolescents with HP will be compared to those of adolescents without HP.
