  • A Trial of Bendrofluazide in Depression

  • David Wheatley
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:

  • There is evidence that depression may be associated with retention of sodium, and on recovery electrolyte changes return to normal (Shaw, 1966; Elithorn et al., 1966). In the premenstrual syndrome, psychiatric symptoms commonly occur, particularly depression; together with fluid retention. Thiazide diuretics, which cause excretion of water, potassium and sodium, are an effective form of treatment of the syndrome. In consequence, it would seem logical to assess the effects of a thiazide diuretic given to depressed patients.

  • A Ten Years' Review of the Functioning of a Psychiatric Day Hospital

  • E. M. Fottrell
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    29 January 2018, pp. 715-717

  • Psychiatric Day Hospitals are likely to play an important role in the development of community psychiatry. Although they have existed in Britain for approximately 25 years, there is much that remains unknown about them. The present is a report of the functioning of a Day Hospital over a period of ten years. Stress is laid on (a) the source of patient referrals; (b) the diagnostic categories of the patient, and (c) the follow-up of patients after discharge.
