[New medico-meteorological results in mental patients].

Over a period of 13 years the dates of hospitalization of 17,268 psychically sick persons were correlated with the decimal weather classification. Schizophrenics and neurotic depressives were affected particularly by warm westerly weather conditions, exhaustion and involution depressives and psychopaths by easterly weather conditions. Alcoholics and neurotics are more irritated by unsettled weather conditions, drug addicts by weather conditions with warm air advection from the southwest. In schizophrenics, high warm air advections in front of a belt of low pressure are of particular importance. Depressives too, seem to react to rising fronts which are partly combined with fally fronts.
