Abstract
SANCHEZ GARCIA, María Dolores; PECINO ESQUERDO, Beatriz and PEREZ MARTINEZ, Enrique. Corticosteroid-induced mania: a case study and review. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2015, vol.35, n.126, pp.323-340. ISSN 2340-2733. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0211-57352015000200007.
Corticosteroids are drugs widely used in routine clinical practice that are however associated with neuropsychiatric adverse effects. This paper describes the case of a seventy-one- year man who developed manic symptoms after taking with corticosteroids and was successfully treated with quetiapine and, on the other hand, reviews corticos-teroid-induced mania.
Keywords : bipolar disorder; mania; adrenal cortex hormones; medical oncology; quetiapine.
