Notes

The introduction to the series on the record sleeve notes that the medical profession has taken considerable interest in the relationship between brain biochemistry and mental illness. There is potential for the 'new' anti-depressant compounds (the record promotes Niamid, a brand of the anti-depressant compound Nialamide).

Contents

Part One Psychoneuronic Depression. Two cases entitled 'Reactive Depression' and 'Mixed Depressive State'. The sleeve notes have detailed dosage recommendations.
Part Two Psychotic Depression. Four cases entitled; 'Endogenous Depression', 'Involutional Melancholia', 'Senile Depression' and 'Post Partum Depression'. Detailed dosage instructions as before.
