Hi.

I understand your concern .

if it contains steroids then may be it ia due to withdrawal symptoms .

Depression is common in steroid withdrawl .

but many a time it has independent origin and depression is just co incidence .

Need to do proer psychological evaluation.

it can be treated with medicine like combination of SSRI and benzodiazapine .

In SSRI sertraline / escitalopram / peroxetine will help .

if it is occur in withdrawl then it has good prognosis .

short term antidepressant therapy can help to reduce all.

I hope I have answered your question .
Still if you have a query then feel free to .

Thank you.
