When these experiments showed no apparent side effects from the substance, the team administered it to 18 women suffering from severe depression. In a preliminary test at Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh, N.C., eight of the women who received a single injection of TRH experienced prompt, though in all cases, short-term improvement...
