The Dexamethasone Suppression Test in Depressed Kuwaiti Patients SIR: We read with interest the multicentre WHO collaborative study of the response to the dexameth asone suppression test (DST) (Journal, April 1987, 150, 459-462). The only Arab centre involved in this study was in Casablanca, Morocco (12 patients). In Kuwait, we recently carried out a similar study on 19 Kuwaiti depressed in-patients (I 1 males and 8 females; mean age = 34.3 ± 2.2 years) and 23 healthy controls.
