According to Swedish researchers, there is a possible link between the habitual use of anabolic steroids and antisocial attitude.

Anabolic steroids are synthetic drugs related to male sex hormones and are used or abused by bodybuilders, athletes, and many others for building muscles, staying young, and promoting body strength, protein synthesis, and endurance.

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 was revealed by the researchers that steroid abuse or non-prescription use of steroids can lead to antisocial behavior and health complications such as signs of maniac or hypomania episodes, development of suicidal tendencies, increased level of aggression, and psychotic episodes.
