3 H‐imipramine binding to platelet membranes, B max and K D , was measured in depressed patients, who were divided into endogenous and non‐endogenous depression according to three different criteria, the ICD‐9, the Newcastle I and the Newcastle II rating scales. Two groups served as controls, a group of healthy volunteers and a group of psychiatric patients suffering from schizophrenia or senile dementia. No significant differences were found in either B max or in K D among the different groups of patients and the control groups.
