Exploring the Role of Serum Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) Levels in Manic Depressive Psychosis in Terms of Its Association, Diagnostic Ability, and Severity Prediction: Findings From a Tertiary Care Center in North Bengal
Manic depressive psychosis (MDP) or bipolar disorder, a prevalent psychiatric condition globally and in the Indian population, has been attributed to various pathological mechanisms. Hydrogen sulphide (H S), a member of the gasotransmitter family, may be linked to the development of bipolar disorder...

description | Manic depressive psychosis (MDP) or bipolar disorder, a prevalent psychiatric condition globally and in the Indian population, has been attributed to various pathological mechanisms. Hydrogen sulphide (H
S), a member of the gasotransmitter family, may be linked to the development of bipolar disorder because it plays a crucial role in maintaining proper neuronal function in terms of excitability, plasticity, and homeostatic functions. There is very little data regarding the role of the gasotransmitter H
S in MDP in terms of its association, diagnostic ability, and severity prediction, which led us to conduct this study among MDP patients in the Sub-Himalayan region of West Bengal.
This was an observational case-control study performed in the Department of Biochemistry, North Bengal Medical College and Hospital, Siliguri, West Bengal, India, from January 2022 to December 2022. Fifty diagnosed MDP patients and 50 healthy age- and sex-matched control subjects satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria were studied. The H
S level in the blood was assayed using the standardised spectrophotometric methylene blue method. The severity of depression was assessed by Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) scoring.
Of the 50 MDP patients, 45 (90%) were in the depressive phase, and five (10%) were in the manic phase. Of the 45 depressive patients, eight (17.8%) had mild depression, 12 (26.7%) had moderate depression, 19 (42.2%) had severe depression, and six (13.3%) had very severe depression. The mean H
S level in MDP patients (41.98±18.88 μmol/l) was significantly (P |

S level in MDP patients (41.98±18.88 μmol/l) was significantly (P<0.05) lower than that in control subjects (99.20± 15.20 μmol/l). It was also observed that the mean H
S level in MDP patients decreased with the duration of the disease but was not statistically significant. The mean H2S levels in the different depression severity groups were found to be significantly different (P<0.001). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that a cut-off value of H
S <78.5 μmol/l was associated with MDP, with a sensitivity of 96% and a specificity of 88%, and a cut-off value of H
S < 53 μmol/l predicted the severity of depression with a sensitivity of 89.3% and a specificity of 76.5%.
The significant association of the gasotransmitter H
