Abstract
Report of 4 [male] cases of profound melancholia, acute anxiety and obsessional tendencies treated with either testosterone propionate (testoviron) or andro-sterone benzoate (proviron). There was no indication in at least 3 of the patients of hypogonadal function requiring hormone therapy. Three recovered sufficiently to resume their usual occupations, the fourth, aged 74, showed very marked improvement. These few successes warrant further clinical trials.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
