Androgenic Anabolic Steroids: Adverse Effects on Psychological Status & Miscellaneous Effects
Psychological Status
In both sexes, psychological effects of anabolic-androgenic steroids include increases or decreases in libido, mood swings, and aggressive behavior, which is related to plasma testosterone levels.Administration of steroids causes changes in the electroencephalogram similar to those seen with psycho-stimulant drugs. The possible ramifications of uncontrollably aggressive and possible hostile behavior should be considered prior to the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids.
Other Adverse Effects
Other side effects associated with the anabolic-androgenic steroids include: ataxia; premature epiphysial closure in youths; virilization in youths and women, including hirsutism, clitoromegaly, and irreversible deepening of the voice; acne; temporal hair recession; and alopecia. These adverse reactions can occur with the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids and are believed to be dependent on the type of steroid, dosage and duration of drug use.There is no method for predicting which individuals are more likely to develop these adverse effects, some of which are potentially hazardous.
