TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse and psychopathology JO - Psychiatric clinics of North America A1 - Porcerelli, J. H. A1 - Sandler, B. A. SP - 829 EP - 833 VL - 21 IS - 4 N2 - 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.
