Introduction: Glucocorticoids and the stress hormone system have been implicated in the pathophysiology of depression and in the mechanism of action of antidepressant response. Many studies have investigated this system in an effort to predict response to antidepressant treatment. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the evidence for using glucocorticoid-related measures for personalized treatment of depression. Methods: We conducted a MEDLINE search from 1966 through 2010 and examined English-language studies reporting on the use of endocrine challenge tests and genetic polymorphisms in genes regulating the stress hormone system as predictors of antidepressant response. Results: While measures of glucocorticoid levels using endocrine tests, as well polymorphisms in genes regulating the stress hormone system, show associations with response to antidepressant treatment, these measures will need to be combined with other variables, including clinical information and other biological measures, to realize the goal of highly predictive and clinically relevant biomarkers. Discussion: The glucocorticoid system is potentially of great use in predicting antidepressant response. New combinations of biomarkers including these measures should be tested to develop clinically relevant predictors. (HARV REV PSYCHIATRY 2011;19:125-143.)
