Two patients with agoraphobic symptoms and major depressive disorder exhibited dexamethasone nonsuppression. Antidepressant pharmacotherapy was associated with remission of depressive symptoms and DST normalization. This improvement predated remission of agoraphobic symptoms by 1-2 months. It is suggested that agoraphobia was secondary to the depression in both cases.
两名患有广场恐怖症症状和重度抑郁症的患者表现出地塞米松抑制试验不被抑制。抗抑郁药物治疗与抑郁症状的缓解及地塞米松抑制试验结果正常化相关。这种改善比广场恐怖症症状的缓解提前1至2个月出现。提示在这两个病例中，广场恐怖症是继发于抑郁症的。
