To assess the frequency of affective and psychotic symptoms in athletes taking anabolic steroids, the authors performed structured interviews of 41 body-builders and football players who had used steroids. According to DSM-III-R, nine subjects (22%) displayed a full affective syndrome, and five (12%) displayed psychotic symptoms in association with steroid use. These findings suggest that major psychiatric symptoms may be a common adverse effect of these drugs.
为评估服用合成代谢类固醇的运动员中情感症状和精神症状的出现频率，作者对41名使用过类固醇的健美运动员和足球运动员进行了结构化访谈。根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版修订本（DSM-III-R），9名受试者（22%）表现出完全的情感综合征，5名（12%）在使用类固醇的同时出现了精神症状。这些发现表明，严重的精神症状可能是这些药物常见的不良反应。
