Extract
The beneficial effect of monoamine oxidase blockers on depressive states has been established. Their therapeutic effect has been assessed at ranging between 60 and 80 per cent. of all cases treated. We have tried to improve on this rate by combined treatment with iproniazid and reserpine, a combination which has been used in experimental animals by Chessin et al. (1, 2) and Brodie et al. (3). The results of our treatment will be briefly described in this paper.
