Unpleasant taste--a neglected symptom in depression.
Of 47 depressed patients, 19 reported the symptom of unpleasant taste. This symptom appeared unrelated to previous drug treatment. Also, in this study, there was no significant association with prognosis, severity or type of depression, or with various historical factors. Despite this, it would seem to be an underreported symptom, worthy of further investigation.
