Observations on the Occurrence of an Ethnic Element in Involutional Melancholia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2018
Extract
In the development of involutional melancholia a variety of causes have from time to time been implicated, ranging from glandular upset of ovarian or pituitary origin to the stress of air-raids. In the bulk of cases the pathogenesis would appear to depend on the interaction of a constellation of predisposing and precipitating factors. In the present study a tentative attempt has been made to indicate a possible ethnic element in the aetiology of this psychosis.
