A Tale of Two Bivalent Cations in Major Depressive disorder
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
The level of calcium and magnesium was estimated in 150 cases of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) along with age and sex matched 150 control subjects. The level of magnesium was found to be decreased statistically. This finding was also consistent when the cases were graded according to the severity. This simple test can easily be used in diagnosis of MDD cases and supplementation in necessary cases may be helpful for the patients.
