Depression in alcoholics by the NIMH-Diagnostic Interview Schedule and Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale.
Depression was prominent among 40 alcoholics in an alcohol treatment program. Untreated depression may increase risk for relapse to problem drinking. The structured diagnostic interview schedules, DIS and Zung, showed good agreement and were effective instruments in the detection of depression in alcoholics.

Some observations on psychiatric research.
Principles of sound research design are too often incompletely applied in scientific investigations. Physicians may fail to evaluate journal articles for quality of research, comparability among studies, and clinical relevance. For many investigators quick publishable experiments take precedence over those with rigorous methods. Clinicians and researchers are becoming more aware of these concerns. Students should be taught the skills necessary to interpret scientific reading. Greater attention should be given to correct research design, and authors should fully explain both the procedures of a study, and its relevance. Fewer published articles and more review papers or commentaries might also stimulate better research quality.
Psychiatric aspects of complex partial seizures: case report.
A patient is described who had a personal and family history of rage attacks, mood disturbance, and epileptiform EEGs. The patient achieved a return to emotional stability with the introduction of anticonvulsant drug therapy. Symptoms relapsed and then remitted as anticonvulsants were stopped and then reinstituted.

Recognition and treatment of rabbit syndrome, an uncommon complication of neuroleptic therapies.
Rabbit syndrome is an uncommon, tongue-sparing, orofacial movement disturbance, rapid and regular in nature and associated with prolonged use of neuroleptics. Two cases reports illustrate how anticholinergic agents successfully treat the disorder. The syndrome is distinguished from tardive dyskinesia, which tends to be exacerbated by anticholinergic agents.

Alcohol abuse and attention deficit disorder.
The prevalence of alcohol abuse among the fathers, and ADD in family members, of 22 adult psychiatric patients with persistent attention deficit disorder was found to be significantly higher than in 20 matched controls. Further research is necessary to determine the reasons for, and clinical implications of, these associations.

Combined trimipramine/phenelzine treatment of depression: case report.
Trimipramine was found safe, effective, and free of complications when used in combination with the MAOI phenelzine in the treatment of a case of refractory depression. Trimipramine co-administration with phenelzine may be an efficacious alternative pharmacotherapy for selected cases when synergistic antidepressant therapies are indicated.
