title: [Reproduction of the minute time interval in depression in patients with schizophrenia and manic-depressive psychosis].
abstract: As many as 21 patients with endogenous depressions were examined by the "individual minute" method 3 times a day during hospital treatment with tricyclic antidepressants and neuroleptics. MDP patients had an anxious type of depressive affect, those with schizophrenia had anxious and uneasy types. In the anxious type of depressive affect, the "individual minute" was considerably shortened at the study onset; in the uneasy type, it was similar to normal. In patients with MDP, normalization of the "individual minute" was seen during reduction of depression (at r = -0.63). In schizophrenic patients, the short "individual minute" underwent little changes in the course of the clinical state improvement and depression was refractory to the treatment. The data obtained may be of importance in studying chronobiology of endogenous depressions.
