DHEA is sky-high, presumably several standard deviations beyond the reference range. Cortisol is below reference range:
What is the meaning of high DHEA, low cortisol? Other markers (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone) look normal.
Curious to hear others’ experiences.
My preliminary research suggests this hormonal profile is consistent with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
