The results of the TRH test and the DST point to similar endocrinological patterns in alcoholics as in depressive patients and thus support the hypothesis of a link between alcoholism and depression.

Various types of phenotypic markers are discussed and alcoholism is taken as a model for a more detailed discussion of available putative phenotypic markers and of research strategies to be used, namely the pharmacological challenge in high risk subjects (e.g. ethanol and TRH challenge).
