Effect of rubidium on the course of illness and the circadian rectal temperature in a 66-year-old depressive woman

Abstract

Rubidium (Rb+) has an antidepressive effect and shortens the circadian period in animals, whereas Li+, another alcalic metal, lengthens it. When we treated a depressive Li+ nonresponder with Rb+, we found an improvement of depression as well as a phase advance of the temperature rhythm in relation to the rest-activity rhythm.
