本文报告一位对心理治疗、药物治疗及电击治疗有抵抗力的慢性难治性激越抑郁症患者。尽管丘脑前核损毁导致情绪升高，但患者的冲动控制不足以阻止自杀。对患者大脑的彻底检查使得有可能对丘脑前核功能进行解剖学临床相关性。
A patient with chronic intractable agitated depression resistant to psychotherapy, pharmacological agents, and electroshock therapy was presented. In spite of the mood elevation produced by anterior thalamic nucleus destructions, the patient's impulse control was insufficient to prevent a suicide. A thorough examination of the patient's brain made it possible to make an anatomical clinical correlation of anterior thalamic nucleus function.
