Identifying an applicable and reliable test to diagnose OXT-D is an unmet need.

The HHD group had more depression symptoms, alexithymia, impaired sexual function, and worse QoL compared to HCs. The mean percentage change in OXT from T0 to T90 was negatively associated with depressive and alexithymia symptoms in the HHD group and anxiety in both groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The reduced OXT response after MEL in HHD supports the existence of an impaired OXT response at least in a subset of patients with HHD.
