Abstract

Dexamethasone Suppression Test (DST) was performed on twenty five patients satisfying Research Diagnostic Criteria for the diagnosis of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Abnormal DST responses were seen in twelve (48%) patients. It was observed that the non-suppressor group scored significantly more on depression and obsessionality. The implications of the results are discussed.
