The cortisol test involves spitting in test tubes that are carried along for the day. The tubes are then mailed in to the participating lab for analysis. Saliva cortisol testing has been covered by Plan B Medicare which supports the accepted level of accuracy of the test.
The provider can use the elevated cortisol lab values along with the verbalized depression like symptoms to determine a future risk of a diagnosis of clinical depression. Having a biological (elevated cortisol) value to strengthen the assessment improves access to proper, effective treatment.
The staff of Home Care Path and the Wisconsin PATH ALONG model applaud this very important discovery which will improve prevention efforts aimed at the treatment of symptoms of depression.
