2012, Psychiatry ResearchCitation Excerpt :However, hypocortisolism has been reported as well; a phenomenon that is characterized by a hyporesponsiveness on different levels of the HPA axis in a number of stress-related states as Fries et al. (2005) stated in their overview. It was first reported in the eighties by using single-dose metyrapone test in depressed patients (Fava et al., 1984; Fava, 1994). Recently, Vreeburg (2010) studied in a longitudinal study including 837 patients with depressive and/or anxiety disorders, the association between salivary cortisol measures at baseline and the course of psychopathology.
