How do Anabolic steroids affect the brain?
Anabolic steroids work differently from other anesthetic drugs. They, do not have the same short-term effects on the brain. The most significant difference is that steroids do not directly activate the reward system to cause a "high"; Nor do they lead to rapid increases in the brain chemical dopamine, which reinforces most other types of substance abuse behavior.
Misuse of Anabolic steroids can lead to negative mental effects, such as:
Paranoid (excessive unreasonable) jealousy.
Extreme irritability and aggression ("verbal anger")
Delusion: False beliefs or thoughts weak judgment obsession.
