Frontal lobe meningioma and depression.
The case of a 61-year-old woman with an apathetic depression and urinary incontinence is presented. Her depression and urinary incontinence were symptomatically treated with d-amphetamine prior to diagnosis of bilateral frontal lobe meningiomas. Similar but irreversible neurologic conditions might be successfully treated by using amphetamines.
