Microdoses of bromine in neuroses

Abstract

The first attempt at treating neuroses with microdoses of bromine belongs to Birman and Siegel. In 10 cases of neurasthenia, these authors used ¹/₂% bromine solution, 1 tablespoon, 2 times a day, for 3-5 weeks, and in almost all cases received positive results. Subsequently, Weinberg and Birman tested this method of treatment on a larger number of patients at a dosage of bromine of 0.25% and sometimes 0.1%, and of 31 cases of neurasthenia, they obtained a positive result in 28 cases. The therapeutic effect was absent or insignificant in 3 cases of neurasthenia, in 1 case with reactive depression and in 8 cases of constitutional hysteria.
