[Changes in hormonal indicators during the treatment of depression of different types].
Cortisol and hypophyseal hormones contents were measured in the blood serum of circular, schizophrenic and psychogenic depressed patients during pharmacotherapy. Distinct nosological differences in hypophyseal hormone secretion were noted. The increase in blood serum levels of ACTH, prolactin and somatotropic hormones were obligatory stages of the positive therapeutic effect in circular depressions. The ACTH and prolactin decrease was characteristic of schizophrenic depression. The cortisol level decreased in any depression with positive therapeutic effect.
