Good luck with getting an answer to this one....
It's actually the Psychiatric field - which seems to be much more limited - that is at the forefront of the clinical studies involving this concept. The Big Pharms don't seem to be that interested (yet) and they are the ones with the cash to do the big double-blind studies with placebos, etc.
Do a search (Google, Yahoo, whatever) with the phrase "depression" and "RU486" and "cortisol".
Check out how far back some of these studies go... 1999?
