[Vital disorders of the mouth (glossodynia) in depressive involutional psychoses]
Abstract:
Eight cases of glossodynia arising in the context of an endogenous depression are reported and the case histories of four of them are presented. Somatic features, in particular the sensation of having a burned tongue, were by far the most prominent and tended to relegate the depressive symptoms to the background. The clinical picture can usefully be classified as the coenesthetic form of a depressive psychosis of late life. A good treatment response can be achieved with antidepressants, possibly in combination with neuroleptics.
