Mania and bromism: a case report and a look to the future
AJ Sayed
Mania has not been reported as a manifestation of bromism. This paper
describes a manic patient who had an elevated serum bromide level. The
author suggests that the possibility of bromide-induced mania should be
considered when patients who manifest manic symptoms are evaluated. The
implications of the bromide-mania relationship for a better understanding
of manic-depressive illness are also discussed.
