Anabolic Steroids and Suicide: A Brief Review of the Evidence by Jack Darkes, PhD

Discussions of the potential role of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) in suicide surfaced recently when AAS and their use among professional athletes were blamed for several suicides of young adult males. These allegations inspired a congressional investigation and renewed anti-steroid rhetoric, but little dispassionate evaluation. The testimony of experts and grieving parents notwithstanding, the role of AAS in suicide is not clear.

Individuals who tend to use AAS are often of a personality type that are more susceptible to mood disorders. There is also very strong anecdotal evidence that mood disorders can be exacerbated by AAS use. Furthermore, there is a strong theoretical link between fluctuating hormone levels and mood disorders.

Bottom line, please be careful. This, IMHO, is THE most serious problem resulting from steroid abuse.

Im 55 years old. No matter how smart you are about steroids, your cycles, you will have problems from time to time. I did 4 cycles on my 5 th cycle at the end of my cycle i crashed. I ve heard of people talking about that and i thought it was bs. For about 2 weeks i went through a feeling of impending doom, and my life is 99% perfect. E very day i thought i did something wrong or bad. If you think you got hcg down pat , your body will tell you different eventually. With your mood and your weenie hybernating your mind will tell you do another cycle.

Good article.
I think anyone who is taking steroids and thinking about suicide has an obligation to us all to leave somewhere in the suicide note that steroids in no way effected you in their decision.

Hi friend !!! I not know if these teories are good or not..but I , from my second serieus cycle, I have same negative phsicological effects, in particula after clen stak. I have anxiety and a not real life visual..., is not easy explain ..but, is a very very dangerous situation for my safety.
Now I'm better, but sametime I have these problems, same crisis..., but sincerelly I think that is only an exaltetion of problems that always I had but in underground on my mind. But is sure that an hard anxiety crisis is a suicide cause.
Gays, remebar that in our life are more importants friends, affections, family, serenity that muscles.
Bye
