abstract：:The Dex/CRH test is one of the most reliable neuroendocrine function tests for hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) system dysregulation in depression. Persistent overdrive of HPA system activity after successful antidepressant treatment predicts an enhanced risk for relapse of a depressive episode. As the reni...
