A double-blind study was performed on forty-five manic-depressive patients. There was no difference in the number of abnormal EEG patterns in the manic, depressed and normal states.

Fifteen of twenty-eight patients showed increasingly abnormal EEGs when placed on lithium carbonate. This is not related to sex, age, serum lithium level, clinical state or therapeutic outcome.
