Abstract
The erythrocyte sodium potassium concentrations were determined in 26 female patients suffering from a depressive illness, and in 12 female controls. The mean erythrocyte sodium concentration of the patients was significantly lower than that of the control group. The patient group was subdivided by diagnostic scales into eleven “psychotics” and fifteen “neurotics”. No difference between the “psychotic” group and the controls was shown. The erythrocyte sodium concentration of the “neurotic” group was significantly lower than that of the control and that of the “psychotic” group. After correction for age, there was no significant difference in erythrocyte potassium concentration between any of the groups.
