Abstract

Summary and conclusionsIn patients with mental or emotional disorders, increased activity of vasomotor mechanisms responsive to postural change may occur; this is observed irrespective of diagnosis. In some psychotic patients disturbances in mental content and mood, consisting of intensification of pre-existing psychotic manifestations, occurred at times when it may be assumed that cerebral blood flow was diminished. Observations suggest that lobotomy causes no distinctive change in postural vasomotor reactivity when time for complete healing is allowed.
