Abstract

This report describes a young woman who met research criteria for both primary depression and multiple personality. Abnormal dexamethasone suppression test results supported the former diagnosis and returned to normal during electro convulsive therapy in anticipation of depressive symptom resolution. This suggests that multiple personality may occur as an epiphenomenon of affective disorder or of other illnesses.
