Hormone drugs can make people fat and thin, right?
Hormone drugs include prednisone, cortisone, hydrocortisone, dexamethasone and so on. They are all members of the adrenocortical hormone family. Since 1948 Dr. Philip Hanch of the United States successfully applied cortisone, adrenocortical drugs have been used by doctors in Chengdu for anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-toxic, which has indeed turned many critically ill patients into safety and made great contributions to human health.

However, taking hormonal drugs is not optional. First of all, people with a history of mental illness in the family should be extra careful when using hormones. A little carelessness will add a new mental disorder to the family. Therefore, people in this family had better not use hormone drugs. Second, don't take it for a long time or in large doses, otherwise it will induce a series of new diseases. The most common is centripetal obesity, with the phenomenon of "full moon face, buffalo back and belly as big as a ball". Other diseases are decreased resistance (poor immune function), osteoporosis and gastric ulcer. In addition, there are various manifestations in the nervous system. First, the temperament is euphoric, from pleasure to mild dryness, excitement and insomnia, which are early symptoms of seemingly neurasthenia; Then depression, anxiety, and even suicide; Finally, it develops into mania, delusion and mental disorder.

Therefore, for diseases that can be cured without hormone drugs, try not to use hormone drugs, and control the dosage and medication time if necessary. Anyone who has similar neurasthenia symptoms after taking hormone drugs must be alert to induce psychosis.
