The dexamethasone suppression test in acute grief.

S R Shuchter, S Zisook, C Kirkorowicz, C Risch.   

Abstract

Nineteen recently widowed women and men were given diagnostic interviews, psychometric evaluations, and dexamethasone suppression tests (DSTs). While 58% of the subjects (N = 11) met Research Diagnostic Criteria for depression, only 16% (N = 3) were nonsuppressors on the DST. In this population, nonsuppression was related more to levels of anxiety than to depression.
