Thyrotropin-releasing hormone in schizophrenia
kl Davis, LE Hossister and PA Berger
Oral administration of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) caused
deterioration in the clinical status of seven out of nine schizophrenic
men. This change was particularly apparent in the four patients diagnosed
as paranoid schizophrenics. Such changes might be expected from a drug with
properties similar to amphetamine.
