Sorry this happened to you. I have seen this happen to people countless times. Normal people in the hospital for various reasons would suddenly be transferred to a Medical-Psych unit after being administered corticosteroids.

What amazed me more was when a "self proclaimed" PMR expert who thought she knew everything about Prednisone said in all of her years of experience, she had only heard of this happening once. I knew she didn't have any experience to know this happens frequently in a hospital. We didn't say people became psychotic because of the stigma. We used different terminology and said they were having "mental status changes."

@dadcue "mental status changes" is putting it mildly, though that is a much more polite way of saying completely bat-guano, over-the-edge crazy!
