[Coenzyme Q 10 in psychiatry].

Abstract

The incidence of coenzyme Q 10 and its alterations in psychiatrical pathology is studied. A screening of a randomly selected 113-patient sample showed a high percentage of deficiencies: When taken care of, an improvement in patients' clinical pictures, with no secondary complaint could be observed. Results do not yield alteration specificity according to diagnosis. In those cases where values higher than admitted as normal were detected, neither a common symptoms nor the predomination of a determined pathology could be found.
