ABSTRACT
Changes in prolactin and depth of depression were studied in human heroin addicts. A proportional relation was observed in both. Disturbance in dopaminergic activity is suggested as a probable biochemical mechanism of depression in brain, which reflects itself as changes in prolactin levels of the body. The disturbance may be due to the direct or indirect effects of addiction at hypothalmic or pituitary level
