title: [Psychopathologic picture of depression and the conduct of some hormone tests and the therapeutic response to thymoleptics].
abstract: Psychopathological picture of depression and the conduct of some hormone tests vs the therapeutic response to thymoleptics were examined. On the grounds of some diagnostic criteria, 84 patients with affective psychosis were divided into three diagnostic groups: unipolar (DJ, n = 54) and bipolar (DD, n = 20) endogenous depressions and non-endogenous depression (DN, n = 10). The control group (GK, n = 25) consisted of mentally healthy people. Hormone tests TRH and ITT were performed before and after the treatment. The hormones: TSH, T4, T3, PRL, GH, and CORT were marked by RIA methods. The findings of the examination, after being statistically described and thoroughly discussed, show that they could be useful in differential diagnosis of affective illnesses and in prognosis of therapeutic response.
