MARTIN M. MANDEL M.D. 1 1 Department of Neurology, Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, Pa. A case of recurrent depression is presented in association with an adenoma of the parathyroid gland. The similarity between the symptoms of the involutional depression and those of hyperparathyroidism are frequently indistinguishable. Chemical factors should be excluded in recurrent depressive states and a serum calcium should be considered as a diagnostic aid in these instances.

TREATMENT IN TRANSVESTISM VERONICA M. PENNINGTON M.D. 1 1 The Department of Psychiatry, University of Mississippi School of Medicine and the VA Center, Jackson, Miss. 1. Female psychosexual functioning in a male brain produced by some biochemical malfunctioning in the center of bisexual development antagonistic to the gender represented by the gonads may be the cause of transvestism. 2. Transvestism is perverted behavior which has been corrected chemically by the phrenotropic agents nialamide, chiorpromazine, and meprobamate in a patient whose case was presented, resulting in complete negation of transvestitic symptoms and a return to normal behavior.
