heal.abstractNeuropsychiatric changes during exogenous corticosteroid administration are well-recognized. However, reports of neuropsychiatric reactions to corticosteroid replacement for Addison's disease are distinctively rare. We report on a patient with primary adrenocortical insufficiency, initially presenting with depressive symptoms, who developed akinetic mutism followed by acute manic illness shortly after the initiation of steroid replacement. Both disorders occurred with physiological doses of hydrocortisone and resolved spontaneously. The pathogenesis of the above neuropsychiatric reactions is discussed in the context of glucocorticoid receptor-related brain effects of glucocorticoids. In addition, this report points to the need for accurate psychiatric assessment of patients with Addison's disease upon introduction of replacement therapy.en
