Lithium treatment and blood pressure.
The average systolic and diastolic blood pressures of 377 manic-depressive patients were not significantly different before and during lithium treatment. Before the treatment blood pressure was slightly but significantly lower in spring and fall than in winter and summer; during lithium treatment the seasonal variations disappeared.
