摘要
(1) Plasma cortisol was measured every 20 min for 10-24 hr in 4 prepubertal children fitting unmodified Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC) for major depressive disorder, endogenous subtype. (2) Hormonal assessments were made before treatment and after clinical recovery. (3) Two of the 4 subjects presented evidence of cortisol hypersecretion during illness, subsiding after clinical recovery, similar to that seen in adult endogenous depressives. (4) These preliminary data support the hypothesis that child and adult major depressive disorders are basically the same illness occurring at different points in development. © 1979.
