ABSTRACT:
A method of determining affective illness (i.e. mood disorders) involves serological testing. The serotonin uptake of the patient's blood platelets is determined and compared with a standard blood platelet serotonin uptake characteristic of a particular type of affective illness to determine the patient's type of affective illness. A method of treating a patient having a particular affective illness is provided which includes treating the patient with an effective amount of at least one drug which is effective in treating persons having the same blood platelet serotonin uptake as the patient.
