Corticosteroids

Corticosteroids are prescription medications used to reduce inflammation and treat conditions like asthma, autoimmune diseases, severe allergies, and certain types of chronic pain. For many people, they're an important and effective part of medical care - when used as directed. But long-term corticosteroid use or high doses can affect mood, sleep, and overall physical health, and stopping suddenly after extended use can cause withdrawal symptoms. This section explores how corticosteroids affect the body, including possible side effects, withdrawal symptoms, health risks, and treatment considerations.
