Nineteen recently widowed women and men were given diagnostic interviews, psychometric evaluations, and dexamethasone suppression tests (DSTs). While 58% of the subjects (N = 11) met Research Diagnostic Criteria for depression, only 16% (N = 3) were nonsuppressors on the DST. In this population, nonsuppression was related more to levels of anxiety than to depression.
对19名近期丧偶的男性和女性进行了诊断访谈、心理测评以及地塞米松抑制试验（DST）。虽然58%的受试者（N = 11）符合抑郁症的研究诊断标准，但只有16%（N = 3）的受试者在地塞米松抑制试验中表现为非抑制状态。在这个群体中，非抑制状态与焦虑水平的关系比与抑郁的关系更大。
