All eight users of anabolic androgenic steroids in a pilot survey of weight lifters reported withdrawal symptoms and continued steroid use despite adverse consequences. Psychiatric (especially, depressive) symptoms were prominent in dependent users, underscoring the importance of diagnosing steroid dependence in clinical practice.
在一项针对举重运动员的初步调查中,所有八名使用合成代谢雄激素类固醇的使用者均报告出现了戒断症状,尽管有不良后果仍继续使用类固醇。精神症状(尤其是抑郁症状)在依赖使用者中很突出,这凸显了在临床实践中诊断类固醇依赖的重要性。
