Mood in Relationship to Immuno-Competence and Physical Illness.

Abstract

We selected subjects who were cyclothymic and started to evaluate them in mood, immune functioning and illness at 6 times: 2 with low mood and 2 hypomanic mood. We have now screened 500 students and have 8 of these in the research protocol. We have also started to assemble a comparison group of subjects diagnosed as major depression unipolar to be tested for mood immune function and illness at 3 times: before psychotherapy, at its end and 6 months later. So far we have assessed 20 patients at the initial point and 4 at termination.
