Steroids can worsen OCD and tics - I knew it!

I have found evidence at last that steroids can worsen OCD and tics.   The picture is building.

 Corticosteriods are an unfavorable treatment modality because they worsen OCD and tic behavior.

This is from the following web page:


So, in addition to transition year with no proper support at school - my son had severe stomach aches and exacerbated OCD because of the steroids he was given to stop the allergic reaction to hazelnut chocolate that covered an icecream he ate at a swimming pool in Sweden.  He reacted severely to this medication.  Nobody told me there would be side-effects.

This reaction was very mild compared to that of the prozac, given the following year, but significant.  Before this downturn, my son had been getting along just fine.
