Abstract
It is shown that the platelet serotonin level and the maximum rate of uptake of labeled serotonin by platelets in the groups of patients wit h anxious-depressive and depressive-hysterical syndromes is markedly h igher than in the control (patients with psychopathy without signs of depression) and in the group with the asthenodepressive syndrome. In a ll groups of patients with depressions the excretion of 5-hydroxyindol eacetic acid is reduced as compared to the control.
