TL;DR: Cerebrospinal fluid of the major central metabolites of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine--5HIAA, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy=phenylglycol (MHPG), and homovanillic acid (HVA), respectively--were studied in a group of 26 age-similar military men with no history of major psychiatric illness, but with various personality disorders and difficulties adjusting to military life.

TL;DR: Since depression in late life tends to be at least as chronic and/or recurrent as depression earlier in life, treatment for acute depressive episodes should last at least 6-8 months, and long-term maintenance treatment should be considered in selected individuals.

TL;DR: Endogenous anxiety (anxiety hysteria, agoraphobia with panic attacks) is characterized by sudden, spontaneous panic attacks accompanied by multiple autonomic symptoms, overwhelming fear, a flight response, and polyphobic behavior.

TL;DR: Alprazolam was found to be effective and well tolerated in patients with agoraphobia with panic attacks and panic disorder and significantly more placebo recipients subsequently dropped out of the trial, primarily citing ineffectiveness of placebo as the reason.
