The dexamethasone suppression test (DST) was administered to 28 male combat veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder. Six subjects (21%) were nonsuppressors. The nonsuppression rates for the subgroups with and without major depressive disorder according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria were 50% and 6%, respectively. The authors conclude that cortisol nonsuppression is rare in posttraumatic stress disorder unless there is concomitant major depression.
对28名患有创伤后应激障碍的男性退伍军人进行了地塞米松抑制试验（DST）。6名受试者（21%）为非抑制者。根据研究诊断标准，伴有和不伴有重度抑郁症的亚组的非抑制率分别为50%和6%。作者得出结论，除非同时伴有重度抑郁症，否则创伤后应激障碍患者中皮质醇非抑制情况很少见。
