JC Powell, WR Silveira and R Lindsay
Adolescent Unit, Crichton Royal Hospital, Dumfries.

A case of childhood affective disorder with episodes of depressive stupor in a 13-year-old pre-pubertal boy is described. Changes in the patient's clinical state were accompanied by changes in the dexamethasone suppression test. A family history of affective illness on the maternal side, with phenomenological similarities, is noted.
