Abstract in brief

  • This article reviews how systemic corticosteroid therapy can cause mood swings and cognitive changes, such as hypomania, mania, depression, psychosis, and memory deficits, especially within the first few weeks of treatment.
  • These psychiatric and cognitive side effects are usually dose-dependent and tend to be mild and reversible, but they can be significant for some patients who need long-term corticosteroid use.
  • The article suggests that medications like lithium and certain antipsychotics might help manage these side effects, but more research is needed to find the most effective treatments.]

@Gregory9 @BrandonStraka Now apply a drug with known “Mood and Cognitive Changes During Systemic Corticosteroid Therapy: Symptoms of hypomania, mania, depression, and psychosis occur during corticosteroid therapy as do cognitive changes, particularly deficits in verbal or declarative memory.” https://t.co/0iqq4p2oj2
