躁狂抑郁症的昼夜体温节律变化。

连续数周，每三小时测量六名躁狂抑郁症患者的体温，每名患者至少有一次抑郁发作和一次躁狂发作。虽然在躁狂阶段，每日温度曲线基本上是正常的，具有明显的24小时节律，但在抑郁症期间，白天的温度似乎杂乱无章，通常在早上下降而不是上升，并暗示有12小时的节律。把躁狂抑郁症看作是昼夜节律紊乱的结果，并比较精神病中温度调节和情绪调节的药理学，可能是有用的。
The temperatures of six manic-depressive patients were taken every three hours consecutively for many weeks, covering at least one depressive and one manic episode in each patient. While the daily temperature curve was essentially normal in manic phases, with pronounced 24-hour rhythm, during depression the daytime temperatures appeared disorganised, often falling during the morning instead of rising, and with suggestions of a 12-hour rhythm. It may be useful to look on manic-depressive illness as resulting from a desynchronisation of circadian rhythms and to compare the pharmacologies of temperature regulation and mood regulation in psychosis.
