Dexamethasone suppression test (D.S.T.) was performed on 124 heterogeneous patients. The sensitivity was 75% and the specificity was 73%. These data are discussed and suggest that the D.S.T. can be an useful aid in the diagnosis of depression.
The authors discuss the case of a 36 year old woman who, for several years, has been delirious and who has shown signs of an affective disorder, alternatively suffering from hypomanic and depressive episodes. What is most interesting is that she expresses erotomaniac delusions while she is elated and persecutory delusions while she is depressed. The authors propose an psychopathological explanation for her disorder.
