[Combined sleep deprivation/chlorimipramine therapy of endogenous depression (author's transl)].

A sleep deprivation/chlorimipramine therapy was compared to chlorimipramine therapy in endogenous depression. In the sleep deprivation/chlorimipramine group a quick and long-lasting remission of depressive symptoms could be demonstrated. In the chlorimipramine group a marked prolonged onset of action was seen.
