The urinary excretion of cyclic AMP was estimated in 12 patients suffering from a depressive psychosis and estimated again when they had recovered. During each period of assessment the patients were maintained under metabolic ward conditions.

The urinary excretion of cyclic AMP increased significantly with recovery. The urine volume showed no significant change with recovery and did not correlate significantly with the cyclic AMP excretion.
