I haven't gone through this yet, but it's free access so everyone should be able to read it. At first glance, a statement in the abstract is inconsistent with previous results by authors (low cortisol predicts CBT non-responders).
They're clearly shilling for CBT, but there might be some good information for people who want to understand the HPA axis. The existing evidence is incomplete without studies that use a physical stressor challenge and measure endocrine responses at 24 and 48 hours post-challenge.
