DEPRESSION

Steroid use will obviously have an impact on hormone levels in the body, which in turn may result in a change in one’s general disposition or mood. Depression usually occurs at times when an individual’s androgen/estrogen levels are significantly off balance. This is most common with male bodybuilders, at times when anabolic steroids are discontinued. During this period estrogen levels may be markedly elevated, which is often coupled with a deeply suppressed endogenous testosterone level.
