Abstract
Steroid treatment in mental illness seems generally in past trials to have produced variable results. Forrest, Drewery, Fotherby and Laverty (1960) failed, for example, to confirm the encouraging findings of Strauss et al. (1952) and Sands (1954) on the use of Dehydroepiandrosterone (Diandrone) in certain types of schizophrenia with personality defect.Keywords
