Notes
This is a promotional record and the recording was made on cardboard. According to the sleeve notes this is the second such recording.
The introduction to the series on the record sleeve notes that the medical profession has taken considerable interest in the relationship between brain biochemistry and mental illness. There is potential for the 'new' anti-depressant compounds (the record promotes Niamid, a brand of the anti-depressant compound Nialamide).
Contents
Part One Psychoneuronic Depression. Two cases entitled 'Reactive Depression' and 'Mixed Depressive State'. The sleeve notes have detailed dosage recommendations. The case studies are dramatised in the form of a briefing for students/staff. A case is made for ECT (electro-convulsive-therapy) which is extolled comparing it to having a tooth extraction.
