Abstract
Corticosteroids are commonly used in the treatment of a variety of medical conditions in children and adolescents. However, adverse psychiatric side effects can occur which pose challenges in treatment of medical conditions. This case highlights some of these challenges, in particular the treatment of steroid-induced psychiatric complications in Acute Lymphocytic Leukaemia (ALL). It also accentuates the importance of awareness among pediatricians of the potential adverse psychiatric effects when prescribing corticosteroids in this age group. Families need to be advised accordingly to ensure early recognition and treatment.
