  • Title: Anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse and psychopathology.
    Author: Porcerelli JH, Sandler BA.
    Journal: Psychiatr Clin North Am; 1998 Dec; 21(4):829-33. PubMed ID: 9890124.
    Abstract:
    Anabolic steroid abuse is a significant public health problem. There is evidence from both case reports and empirical studies that abuse of these drugs causes significant psychiatric and medical effects. There appears to be a relationship between increased dosages and severity of psychiatric symptomatology. Research is needed on the role of pathologic personality traits in the initiation and maintenance of anabolic steroid abuse.
