A member asked:
I had severe manic depression, in remission without 25 years. can taking short term steroids during high stress time cause relapse?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Sometimes: Corticosteroids can precipitate mania in some individuals as can stress. On the other hand 25 years of stability would decrease the likelihood. If you are having symptoms please contact your psychiatrist.
