Abstract The use of l-Dopa in the treatment of depressions has been suggested by pharmacological hypotheses and by observations made during the treatment of Parkinson's disease. The authors discuss the first results of their experiences using a combination of l-Dopa, a decarboxylase inhibitor, and desipramine. Some types of depression were rapidly relieved by such treatment, while those types associated with anxiety and agitation did not respond.
