Abstract
The Dexamethasone Suppression Test (DST) was performed in 91 patients (depressive, manic and schizophrenic) and 11 healthy control persons. It was found that more endogenously depressed patients than non-endogenously depressed patients showed abnormal test results. The results were markedly influenced by the time of blood sampling, the diagnostic criteria and the plasma cortisol concentration threshold.Entities:
