Corticosteroids and mania: A systematic review

CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that mania is a common side-effect of corticosteroid use, particularly in prednisone equivalent doses above 40 mg. These findings hold practical significance for clinicians and provide insights into potential interventions, including careful monitoring, dose adjustments, and consideration of psychotropic medications when managing corticosteroid-induced mania.PMID:38363330 | DOI:10.1080/15622975.2024.2312572
