Potassium and Water Distribution in Depression

DAVID MURRAY SHAW M.B., Ph.D., M.R.C.P.1 and ALEC COPPEN M.D., D.P.M.1

1 M.R.C. Neuropsychiatric Research Unit, Carshalton and West Park Hospital, Epsom, Surrey

Potassium and water distribution were examined in patients during and after a depressive illness. There was a relative deficiency of total body potassium, and the concentration of intracellular potassium was low when compared to values obtained on normal subjects. It was found that these patients showed a relatively increased I.C.W. and decreased E.C.W. These abnormalities showed no change with clinical recovery.
