Abstract
Of 100 adolescents who showed evidence of a depressive disorder and were given the dexamethasone suppression test (DST), 42% had abnormal results. Several had mixed or contradictory symptoms and the DST helped in diagnosis of an affective disorder and in treatment planning.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
