Blood cortisol levels during the Trier Social Stress Test were assessed in a group of female adolescents (n = 130), using larger sample sizes than in former trials. Participants with self-harm (n = 21) showed lower cortisol levels. This study adds to former work showing an altered HPA-axis response to social stressors in individuals with self-harm.
