  • Title: The DST and posttraumatic stress disorder.
    Author: Kudler H, Davidson J, Meador K, Lipper S, Ely T.
    Journal: Am J Psychiatry; 1987 Aug; 144(8):1068-71. PubMed ID: 3605429.
    Abstract:
    The dexamethasone suppression test (DST) was administered to 28 male combat veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder. Six subjects (21%) were nonsuppressors. The nonsuppression rates for the subgroups with and without major depressive disorder according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria were 50% and 6%, respectively. The authors conclude that cortisol nonsuppression is rare in posttraumatic stress disorder unless there is concomitant major depression.
