We present a stability analysis on a driven-dissipative electron-hole condensate in the BCS (Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer)-BEC (Bose-Einstein-condensation)-crossover region. Extending the combined BCS-Leggett theory with the generalized random phase approximation (GRPA) to the non-equilibrium case by employing the Keldysh formalism, we show that the pumping-and-decay of carriers causes a depairing effect on excitons. This phenomenon gives rise to an attractive interaction between excitons in the BEC regime, as well as a supercurrent that anomalously flows anti-parallel to $\nabla \theta({\bf r})$ (where $\theta({\bf r})$ is the phase of the condensate) in the BCS regime, both leading to dynamical instabilities of an exciton-BEC. Our result suggests that substantial region of the exciton-BEC phase in the phase diagram (in terms of the interaction strength and the decay rate) is unstable.
