Melatonin in psychiatric disorders - subtyping affective disorder.

Altered diurnal secretory patterns, i.e. altered phase and/or amplitude of melatonin have been reported in sleep and affective disorders. The alteration may depend on environmental factors which in vulnerable individuals may cause sleep and/or affective disorders. Early stress in conjunction with development of resistance to corticotropin-releasing hormone may be linked to the low melatonin syndrome in subgroups of depressed patients. Also the seasonal variation in melatonin as well as serotonin may be linked to the seasonal pattern seen in subgroups of affective disorders. Melatonin may be used as a combined marker for proneness to develop affective disorders especially in latent carriers of bipolar disorders.[1]
