Corticosteroids and Brain
Corticosteroids are prescribed to treat a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. However, long-term use, particularly orally, can result in major side effects such as disorientation, anxiety, and depression. According to a British study, long-term use of corticosteroids raised the risk of getting dementia.
Benzodiazepines provide a silent risk to memory.
Benzodiazepines, including alprazolam and diazepam, are used to treat insomnia and anxiety. Although beneficial in the short term, long-term use increases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and causes lasting brain damage. According to one study, 40% of patients who use these medicines report various neurological effects, including trouble concentrating.
They are also linked to increased risks of physical and mental dependence, making it difficult for many patients to quit. To address anxiety and insomnia, doctors are contemplating non-pharmacological treatments including behavioral therapy.
