  • Title: The dexamethasone suppression test with mildly to moderately depressed outpatients.
    Author: Rabkin JG, Quitkin FM, Stewart JW, McGrath PJ, Puig-Antich J.
    Journal: Am J Psychiatry; 1983 Jul; 140(7):926-7. PubMed ID: 6859319.
    Abstract:
    In 66 depressed outpatients given the 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test (DST), the overall rate of nonsuppression was 14%. There was little difference in the rates for patients with endogenous and nonendogenous depression and no overlap between baseline cortisol hypersecretion and DST abnormality.
