Been taking triamcinolone acetonide for hemorrhoids , today was my last day to use. my anxiety and depression has been bad. could the cream cause this?

Not related: There is not enough absorption of the steroid from the cream to cause mental health symptoms. Please talk to your doctor about how you are feeling.
