Marked Lability in Urinary Cortisol Levels in Subgroups of Combat Veterans With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder During an Intensive Exposure Treatment Program
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to obtain longitudinal data on lability of cortisol levels in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) because previous studies have largely been based on sampling at a single time point and have yielded varying results. METHODS: This study measured urinary cortisol levels at admission, midcourse, and discharge during a 90-day hospitalization period in male Vietnam combat veterans with PTSD (N = 51). RESULTS…
Psychogenic Lowering of Urinary Cortisol Levels Linked to Increased Emotional Numbing and a Shame-Depressive Syndrome in Combat-Related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to search for the intrapsychic correlates of individual differences in cortisol levels in male Vietnam combat veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder. METHODS: The study involved measurement of urinary cortisol levels and clinical assessment with a broad profile of psychometric tests during a single 48-hour period in 30 inpatients. RESULTS: The main finding by both correlation and t test analyses was a …
Relationship Among Plasma Cortisol, Catecholamines, Neuropeptide Y, and Human Performance During Exposure to Uncontrollable Stress
OBJECTIVE: Although many people are exposed to trauma, only some individuals develop posttraumatic stress disorder; most do not. It is possible that humans differ in the degree to which stress induces neurobiological perturbations of their threat response systems, which may result in a differential capacity to cope with aversive experiences. This study explored the idea that differences in the neurobiological responses of individuals exposed to t…
Elevations of Serum T3 Levels and Their Association With Symptoms in World War II Veterans With Combat-Related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
OBJECTIVE: In previous serum thyroid studies, we reported an unusual thyroid profile, including elevated levels of total and free triiodothyronine (T3), total thyroxine (T4), and thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) with no elevations in free T4 and thyrotropin (TSH) in Vietnam veterans with combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) compared to control subjects. In a subsample of Vietnam veterans, we found a significant positive correlation…
Stages of decompensation in combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder
Relationships Between Thyroid Hormones and Symptoms in Combat-Related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
This study was designed to investigate relationships between serum thyroid hormone levels and the severity of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in a group of 65 male Vietnam combat veterans who participated as members of cohorts in an elective inpatient treatment program. Thyroid hormone measures included serum free and total triiodothyronine (T3), free and total thyroxine (T4), and thyroxine-binding globulin. To estimate symptom seve…
