    AbstractRelations between Endocrinology and Psychiatry are developing in two main directions: Behavioural effects of hormones. After the effects of peripheral hormones, recent works are concerned with A.C.T.H. and Antidiuretic Hormone (which interfere with memory process) and with Hypothalamic Peptides (which might have psychotropic properties, independant of their endocrine regulation function). -Correlations between psychiatric syndroms and endocrine disorders. In some mentally depressed patients, disorders of the hypothalamic control of Coricotrophin, Growth Hormone and Thyreo-stimulating Hormone, have been observed. As many psychotropic drugs can influence the secretion of Prolactin, a systematic survey of this hormone in various mental illnesses, is suggested.
