The emotional consequences of corticosteroid use in hematology: preliminary findings

Journal of Psychosocial Oncology
Pam McGrath, Hamish Holewa

Abstract

This article presents the findings from a pilot study conducted as a first step in understanding the myriad psychological and psychiatric sequelae stemming from the use of steroids for hematology patients. Descriptions of the side effects experienced by 10 hematology patients undergoing steroid treatment are documented and discussed. Steroid usage can have a range of physical and emotional side effects on patients, including hematology patients. The insights are a serious reminder to all who care for hematology patients that the psychological and psychiatric side effects of steroids need to be taken seriously.
