The story is almost unbelievable, but I've read about such cases before.

Hormone signaling is very important and should be treated with respect. You can indeed abuse it and we hear plenty about that in the news media. But we rarely hear anything about responsible use and its many benefits. Testosterone is essential to health of both body and mind.

Millions of American girls are taking steroid hormones with the express purpose of blocking reproductive capacity. Same in other countries, especially Scandinavia. Contraceptives like the pill and IUDs work via the administration of estrogens and progestogens, both classes of steroid hormones, to make girls infertile.

Guys on a cycle of a couple of weeks are told they are ruining their testicles, which is not true. All these girls take infertility drugs for years upon years and no one raises an eyebrow.

The pill has numerous side effects. It raises breast cancer risk. Mixing the pill with smoking is very dangerous and few people are aware. It is likely affecting partner choice and subsequently, after no longer taking the pill, increases partner dissatisfaction and divorce.

Many FDA-approved drugs make you aggressive but people worry about steroids. Unlike what people are told, higher testosterone does not cause violence (except maybe in the extreme high dosages). It's the reverse: winning competitions through physical force will increase testosterone. For those interested, violent behavior originates from the amygdala and is not correlated with before-levels of T but is correlated with after-levels of T.

But many drugs do increase violent behavior and suicidal/homicidal ideation. Anti-depressants and ADD medicines are on the top of the list. Yet they are prescribed like candy.

How many examples do we need of depressed guys, who could have used some healthy male hormones, sedated by anti-depressants that go on a killing spree?

Hey there. I agree with most of what you said, but would like to add something.

There is a steroid that is popular that does cause aggression. It is called tren and is not used medically on humans, only on livestock.

It is 3-5 times more powerful than testosterone, and can have harsh side effects including insomnia and night sweats.

It also very commonly causes people to become very aggressive and angry. It also produces extreme labido, far exceeding even a 16 year olds. It's really kind of crazy, but some people love it for the gainz.
