Caesium levels in manic depressive psychosis.
Concentrations of caesium were estimated in hair, whole blood, serum and urine by neutron activation analysis, in samples from manic patients, depressed patients, recovered manic patients, recovered depressed patients and normal controls. There was no difference in the concentration of caesium measured between the various diagnostic categories. These results contradict the findings of previous reports.
