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.
合成代谢类固醇滥用是一个重大的公共卫生问题。病例报告和实证研究均有证据表明，滥用这些药物会造成严重的精神和医学影响。精神症状的严重程度似乎与用药剂量增加有关。需要对病理性人格特质在合成代谢类固醇滥用的起始和持续过程中所起的作用展开研究。
