abstract="After a review on the evidence for efficacy of infusions with antidepressants a study is presented which included 100 depressed patients (77 females, 23 males) treated with infusions at a private clinic in Basel. In almost all cases &quot;Ludiomil&quot; and &quot;Anafranil&quot; were administered. Women in the forth decade were the most important age group in the females. Immediately after discharge from the hospital 72.5% of the patients assessed their condition as healthy or markedly improved, 23% as slightly improved, 39% remained well for over 1 year, 14.5% for 7 to 12 months. 26% had previously attempted suicide at least once. Intravenous infusion-therapy with antidepressants has advantages over oral administration of the same substances that are however not solely founded on pharmacologic but also on psychologic reasons.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
