    Author: Perényi A, Frecska E, Rihmer Z, Arató M.
    Journal: Pharmacopsychiatry; 1987 Mar; 20(2):48-50. PubMed ID: 3588661.
    Abstract:
    Dexamethasone Suppression Test (DST) was given to 30 depressed and 30 schizophrenic patients. 10 depressed patients (33%) and 6 schizophrenics (20%) showed abnormal DST; the difference was not statistically significant. The DST-positive and DST-negative patients did not differ significantly in the total scores on anxiety-depression factor of the BPRS, either in the group of depressed patients or in schizophrenics.
