Summary
Think it was the first test of lithium prophylaxis by a controlled, prospective trial. Patients receiving a new drug are studied carefully and any untoward change may be put down to it. EHH Reserpine is interesting because it may have been responsible for the myth (as I take it to be) that antidepressants take a week or two for their effects to begin. This, I think, led the people who did the first trials of reserpine in anxiety to wait a week or two their drugs as prescribed.
