[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 35181, member: 2423"] Linda, The Bipolar Child lists steroids as one medication that can cause hypomania, mania, mixed states, rapid cycling or increased aggression in children who have bipolar disorder. It suggests that the pediatrician and psychiatrist be in close communication during the time of steroid treatment and during the weaning-off period. Before she was diagnosed with a mood disorder, difficult child 2 was put on a short course of steroids for a bronchial infection (she has asthma and was wheezing terribly). Her mood definitely worsened, but we had no idea why then. Glad you put a call into the psychiatrist. [/QUOTE]
