Does anyone have info on steroids causing depression?

[Guest guest]

I seem to remember reading when we first joined the group that there is a theory

and/or evidence that being treated with steroids can cause a person to fall into

a deep depression even if they have never had a problem with depression before.

Does anyone have any info on this?

My son's former fiancee, his sister and I were discussing the reasons that we

had all thought he needed to " seek professional help " because he seemed to have

lost his focus and was angry all the time. We pinpointed the time as Spring

2003. I then looked back through his belongings and realised that he had taken

2 weeks off from work in early March due to a horrible case of poison ivy. He

worked for the county road department and they had cleared away a lot of

underbrush along the right-of-way and he became covered from head-to-toe. He

went to the doctor and was given an injection and dose pack of a steroids. He

complained the whole time he took the medication about " feeling like crap. "

Then he seemed to become less focused, more angry and, for lack of a better

word, depressed (way beyond the normal ups and downs of life). Thoughts?

Information?
