Of 51 patients with panic attacks, 11.8% (7.8% with a correction factor) had a positive dexamethasone suppression test. This is significantly lower than the rate for melancholia. This difference suggests that panic attacks and major depression may be associated with different biological mechanisms.
在51例恐慌症患者中，11.8%（校正后为7.8%）的地塞米松抑制试验呈阳性。这一比例显著低于忧郁症患者的比例。这种差异表明恐慌症和重度抑郁症可能与不同的生物学机制相关。
