All I know is I feel better now. And I don't want to go back to feeling unmotivated again.
I wish I knew a doctor I really trusted.

Well there may be side effects but so far as I can tell most of them are not nearly so severe as an antipsychotic so I wonder why this is not being used more TBH. The only real problem I could see is if you ever had to get off of it. Further reading suggests it actually mitigates glutamate neurotoxicity so no worries about that just the steroid effects and I'm sure you would be taking a lower dose than some guy who wants to build muscle for pro sports...
