title: Relationship of cognitive factors to CSF corticotropin-releasing hormone in depression.
abstract: The authors investigated the relationship between items on the Beck Depression Inventory and CSF levels of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in 17 depressed patients. Linear regression analysis showed that self-accusation, expectation of punishment, and crying accounted for 82% of CRH variance.
