People with Cushing Syndrome have elevated cortisol levels .... also have higher rates of depression. Medication like ketoconazole and metapyrone can reduce levels of costisol in the body and have been tried for depression. They were case reports and open trials ... I don't know if there are any double blind studies. Actually ... I look that up now.
I have read scientists have injected cortisol into the CSF of rats ... right into the brain. It apparently caused severe depressive features in rats.
