  1. BDI = Beck’s Depression Inventory, MoCA = Montreal Cognitive Assessment, CRH = corticotropin-releasing hormone, ACTH = adrenocorticotropic hormone, TSH = thyroid-stimulating hormone, FT3 = free triiodothyronine, FT4 = free thyroxine, significance level was set at p < 0.05
  2. * Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level
  3. ** Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level
