Abstract
Many instances of regular cyclic or periodic psychiatric and clinical syndromes have been reported (Richter, 1957). The duration of each cycle varies from 2 days to 18 months but is usually constant in a given subject and bears no relationship to external factors. Presumably they have their origin within the body, and a disturbance of endocrine function has been suggested in many cases. Some women show cycles corresponding to the menstrual rhythm, the abnormal phase preceding or accompanying the menstrual flow.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
