Background Corticosteroid-induced psychiatric disorders (CIPDs) represent an adverse effect that can cause severe emotional and behavioral problems. The aim of the present study was to assess the incidence and risk factors of CIPDs. Methods A retrospective analysis of 92 pediatric and young adult patients with hematologic malignancies was conducted. Results The incidence of CIPDs in patients receiving a treatment regimen with prednisolone or dexamethasone was 64.9% and 77.5%, respectively, both of which were significantly higher than that in patients not receiving corticosteroids. Independent risk factors and adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) related to severe CIPD were 2.15 (1.11–4.18) for dexamethasone (using prednisolone as the reference) and 0.81 (0.75–0.87) for age, suggesting that the odds increase with decreasing age. Frequently observed symptoms, respectively in terms of behavioral and emotional problems were defiance, crying, psychomotor excitement, dysphoria, irritability, and depression. To our knowledge, this is the first report to mention the risk factors and characteristics for clinical symptoms of CIPDs during the developmental process. Conclusions Healthcare professionals should predict and prepare for psychiatric adverse events prior to chemotherapy in the clinical settings, especially in patients in younger age and receiving a treatment regimen with dexamethasone.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common in people who offend and is associated with risk of violence. As social cognition is often affected by TBI, we suggest criminal behaviour in people with TBI may be associated with deficits in social cognition. This study investigates facial affect recognition (FAR) in adolescent and young adult offenders with and without TBI. We describe two related observational case-control studies of 35 adolescents (study 1) and 89 male young adults (study 2) within community justice programmes. Participants were administered measures of emotion recognition and neuropsychological functioning, with self-reported history of TBI. In study 1 we found evidence of impairment in FAR in those with a substantial TBI, compared with those with mild or no injury. This effect was not replicated in the adult sample in study 2. However, TBI was associated with poorer performance for attention switching, greater post-concussion symptomology, describing of emotions and ‘interpersonal’ problems, suggesting ongoing sequalae in those with more severe injuries. We also observed an increased risk of violent recidivism in those with substantial TBI compared to those with mild or no injury in the adult sample. Implications for screening and treatment are discussed.
