Abstract:
As a recent study suggested a relationship between cortisol escape following dexamethasone suppression test (DST) and electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities, we tried to replicate these findings in 52 major depressive inpatients. A total of 23 patients exhibited DST nonsuppression (44%) and 18 patients had EEG abnormalities (35%). No relationship existed between DST and EEG results.
