Abstract
The Newcastle diagnostic index was completed on 159 depressedin-patients, who received the dexamethasone suppression test during their first week in hospital. Patients suffering from endogenous depression had a significantly higher rate of DST non-suppression, were older, were more frequently psychotic, and more frequently lost weight; even after con trolling for these variables, DST non-suppression was significantly more frequent in the endogenous group. The relationship between Newcastle scores and the frequency of DST non-suppression was non-linear.
