In the severe depressions of the menopause marked by apathy and psychomotor retardation Many women in the climacteric period develop a true reactive depression, characterized by apathy, psychomotor retardation and despondency. This depressive syndrome is frequently progressive; and, unless promptly and effectively treated, may seriously impair the patient's normal capacity for useful living. In such cases, Benzedrine Sulfate helps to reawaken mental alertness and optimism, and to restore the savor and zest of life -- especially when administered in conjunction with such fundamental measures as electric shock and estrogenic therapy. Obviously, Benzedrine Sulfate should not be used for the casual case of low spirits or normal physiologic depression, as distinguished from true prolonged mental depression.
