The neuroendocrinology of mania

J C Cookson. J Affect Disord. 1985 May-Jun.

Abstract

The paper reviews the endocrine findings in manic patients and the effects of treatment, as well as the association between endocrine conditions or hormonal treatments and abnormal states of elation resembling mania. The findings are discussed in relation to hypotheses about the neurochemical basis of mania, particularly the mesolimbic dopamine hypothesis.
