A comparative study of salivation in affective disorders.
In two 4-week studies comparing the salivation of neurotic and endogenous patients, they were found to have reduced salivation in comparison to control group, but no statistically significant differences were noted between the neurotic and endogenous patients or when the two groups were compared with normal subjects. There was a statistically significant correlation between parotid salivation and sleep disturbance factor scores of the HAM-D in neurotic patients indicating greater sleep disturbance to be associated with higher salivation rates.
