title: Multifocal leucoencephalopathy presenting as antidepressant induced mania.
abstract: A male patient presented with tricyclic induced hypomania after treatment for chronic depression. On follow up the patient deteriorated towards dementia with multifocal leucoencephalopathy. The possible role of brain lesions in the causation of affective syndromes and the neurobiological hypothesis of bipolar syndromes are discussed. The authors propose that chronic depression should be thoroughly investigated for a probable Axis III diagnosis.
