The abuse of anabolic steroids has been well documented in the literature. In contrast, relatively little is written about the abuse potential of glucocorticoids. A case report of a 51-year-old man with substance dependence on prednisone is reported.

Our goal in this retrospective study was to assess empirical risk factors for repeat visits to the psychiatric emergency room. This information may be useful for targeted prevention and cost-effective service planning. Over a 7-month period, 400 (18%) of 2212 patients were repeat visitors, accounting for 36% of all visits. A diagnosis of a psychotic disorder at the first visit was a risk factor fo...... hiện toàn bộ
Six-Month Clinical Status as a Predictor of 24-Month Clinical Outcome in First-Admission Patients with SchizophreniaAnnals of Clinical Psychiatry - Tập 11 - Trang 197-203 - 1999
Thomas Craig, Shmuel Fennig, Marsha Tanenberg-Karant, Evelyn J. Bromet
The aim of this study was to determine whether clinical status at 6-month follow-up is a predictor of 2-year clinical status in first-admission schizophrenic patients. If short-term status is indeed a strong predictor of subsequent functioning, the relationship would support earlier initiation of aggressive interventions. An epidemiologically based sample of 162 first-admission schizophrenic patie...... hiện toàn bộ
