Has anyone else seen a link between steroid use and dementia? The first sign there was something wrong with dad's mental health came when he was on a course of steroids for a chest infection. (He gets these regularly as he has COPD). One night he appeared by mum's bedside in the early hours, naked with a cup of tea, talking gibberish. The doctor said it was the steroids. Since then, every time he's had to take steroids he's completely lost it. The doctor said "Steroids make you mental". I am wondering to what extent the steroids may have influenced his dementia or if the two things are not related to each other.
