Дексаметазоновый тест и критерии DSM

Starting from discoveries in the early 19th century about the basics of the endocrine system, it traces the identification of adrenal steroids in the early 20th century and finally the landmark clinical studies of the 1970s and 1980s that almost resulted in the DST becoming a standard of psychiatric diagnosis. Unfortunately, DSM-III diagnostic criteria did not reliably identify patients with positive DST results. Instead of questioning the DSM criteria, the DST was discarded as faulty.
