The authors studied 19 inpatients with major depressive episode or schizoaffective disorder, depressed type, and compared their response to the dexamethasone suppression test (DST) with their response to the methylphenidate stimulation test. They found a significant negative correlation between responses to DST and to methylphenidate.
