A Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor (Niamid) in the Treatment of the Mentally Subnormal

Llanfrechfa Grange Hospital, Newport, Mon.

ABSTRACT

Niamid, a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, was administered to a group of mentally subnormal patients in a hospital for such patients, and the effects clinically evaluated over a period of ten months. There is evidence that it has a stimulating effect on certain clinical types if they are apathetic, depressed or markedly regressed, in particular mongols, anergic schizophrenics and psychopaths.
