    Abstract

    Nine of 50 MS patients became hypomanic or manic during treatment with ACTH or prednisone. Symptoms did not occur with every drug exposure and were more common with ACTH. Patients at risk were identified by episodes of major depression before and after the onset of MS and by family histories of depression or alcoholism.
