Abstract :Corticosteroids are used in the treatment of numerous diseases, primarily in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. They have various side-effects. Although the pathophysiology of psychiatric side-effects have not clearly been revealed, the various risk factors leading to these have been defined. In the treatment of psychiatric symptoms which emerge after steroid treatments, it is firstly advised to discontinue the use of the steroid and initiate the use of an antipsychotic medicine together with a mood regulator or single-handedly. It is aimed at discussing the manic attack which took place after corticosteroid use in our patient diagnosed with pemphigus vulgaris, the risk factors leading to this situation and the course of the disease only with olanzapine.
