Hello
Welcome here.
Viagra and cialis are similar drigs used for similar indication.
I donot think these drugs would have caused a mental breakdown.
Rather, in my opinion the culprit is prednisolone. Steroids can induce as well as precipitate psychosis or mental breakdown.
Please talk to his doctor about this.
Thanks.
