Prednisone Mood Disorder With Associated Catatonia

Department of Psychiatry, Naval Medical Clinic, Norfolk, VA

Since steroid-induced psychoses often appear as mood disorders and since catatonia may be associated with psychotic mood disorders, the possibility exists for a steroid-induced psychotic mood disorder to present with associated catatonia. In a computer review of the medical literature, however, I found no such cases in adult patients. This report is presented as a possible case of steroid-induced catatonia in a 62-year-old woman following treatment with melphalan, prednisone, and cimetidine for multiple myeloma of the IgA class with associated mild hypercalcemia. (J Geriatr Psychiatry Neurol 1989;2:41-44).
