ABSTRACT
In a Senegalese family, the role of the eldest, i.e. the one who must lead the way, is particularly difficult. The eldest is the only one required to excel and wield power in the family. To ensure his status and maintain his identity, the elder must be acknowledged as such by the father, mother, and younger siblings. The purpose of this report is to describe a case demonstrating the psychological frailness associated with elder status. The patient developed depressive breakdown when his mother dismayed by his professional failure ceased to acknowledgement his status and implicitly disqualified him. Discussion includes the psychopathological dimension revolving mainly around an Oedipal relationship with the father.
