    Author: Jenike MA, Baer L, Brotman AW, Goff DC, Minichiello WE, Regan NJ.
    Journal: J Clin Psychopharmacol; 1987 Jun; 7(3):182-4. PubMed ID: 3597805.
    Abstract:
    Five of 29 obsessive-compulsive disorder patients were dexamethasone suppression test (DST) nonsuppressors, all of whom met standard Hamilton Depression Rating scale criteria for at least mild depression. None of 24 nondepressed obsessive-compulsive disorder patients had an abnormal DST. The relationship of the DST to specificity of psychiatric diagnoses is discussed.
