Abstract
Eighteen manic patients who had abnormal results on the dexamethasone suppression test at admission were retested before discharge, when they were clinically stable. Conversion to normal suppression predicted good outcome after discharge; a persistently abnormal test predicted poor outcome.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
