Two patients with major affective disorder--one unipolar and one bipolar--exhibited normal DSTs while psychotically depressed (mood congruent delusions), yet exhibited nonsuppression on the DST in the course of subsequent separate nonpsychotic depressive episodes. If valid, these results may provide further evidence for considering psychotic and nonpsychotic depression as clinically distinct entities.
两名患有重度情感障碍的患者——一名是单相情感障碍,另一名是双相情感障碍——在伴有精神病性抑郁症状(心境一致的妄想)时地塞米松抑制试验(DST)结果正常,但在随后各自的非精神病性抑郁发作过程中,DST表现为无抑制。如果这些结果可靠,可能会为将精神病性抑郁和非精神病性抑郁视为临床上不同的实体提供进一步的证据。
