Anti-social behavior and anabolic steroids go together
As per researchers from Sweden, there is a possible connection between antisocial behavior and anabolic steroids.
It is noteworthy to note that anabolic steroids are synthetic drugs that are used by males and females, especially bodybuilders and sportsmen, to get an edge in professional events and gain an appealing outward appearance. Nowadays, more and more individuals are making use of non-prescription steroid use for building muscles and increasing the levels of body strength and endurance to look and feel better.
From News-Medical.Net:
Dr. Fia Klötz of Uppsala University in Sweden, and colleagues studied the associations between criminality and steroid use in 1,440 Swedish residents tested for the drugs between 1995 and 2001.
They found that those who tested positive for steroid use were about twice as likely to have been convicted of a weapons offence and one and a half times as likely to have been convicted of fraud.
It appears that the use of anabolic steroids is associated with a lifestyle involving crime, including weapons offences and fraud, but did not appear to be associated with violent crimes or crimes against property.
The authors say aggressiveness appears to occasionally trigger violent behaviour, sometimes even including homicide and steroid use is linked to extreme mood swings, impulsiveness, depression, paranoid jealousy, extreme irritability, delusions and impaired judgment.
In short, it can be easily said that non-prescription steroid use and/or steroid abuse can prove fatal and lead to antisocial behavior such as signs of maniac or hypomania episodes, development of suicidal tendencies, increased level of aggression, and psychotic episodes.
It can be easily concluded that non-prescription steroid use and/or steroid abuse can result in severe health complications leading to anti-social behavior such as signs of hypomania or maniac episodes, development of suicidal tendencies, psychotic episodes, and/or increased level of aggression.
