Hi,
Yes, with the mental illness, HPA axis is very often dysfunctional. But we need something to "reset" the glucocorticoid receptors and not just a cortisol reducer.
Exemple: Atypical depression and Bipolar depression share overlapping symptoms (low cortisol, etc.) Give them RU 486 or Remeron and they get worse quickly. But you can reverse their neurovegetative symptoms very fast in including Prednisone in their treatment. But the tricky part is that adrenals heal very very slowly.
