[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 154351, member: 3444"] I have to agree with the others here, that while steroids can trigger mood symptoms -- even in people without a mood disorder -- they do not cause the disorder. When difficult child 1 was on prednisone for several months to get his first Crohn's flare under control, he became very emotional and depressed. He's also taken inhaled steroids for his asthma, but it's a much lower dose and he's never had any issues with it. The albuterol tends to wire him -- it is a form of stimulant in that sense. But it sure didn't cause his ADHD or his anxiety. husband was on a steroid for about two weeks post-op to reduce swelling in his brain, and it sent him into a paranoid rage bordering on psychosis. I already KNOW he had a mood disorder prior to the surgery, so can't blame it on the 'roids. If he ever has to go on that sh*t again, I'm taking the kids and moving out until he's completely weaned and sane again. [/QUOTE]
