ans.B
substance induced mood disorder is defined as a mood disorder after using a substance(illicit or prescribed). Major depression cannot be diagnosed in presence of either substance use or a general medical condition that may be the cause. prednisolone can cause mood disorder ranging from depression to mania to psychosis.
