Abstract
Nineteen (35%) of 55 women with bulimia failed to exhibit cortisol suppression after dexamethasone administration. Although there was no statistically significant difference between suppressors and nonsuppressors on any clinical variable, there was a higher frequency of major depression among nonsuppressors.Keywords
