Understanding Steroid Rage:
Steroid rage is not a new phenomenon. It has been observed in steroid users for many years, and is thought to be caused by the effect of steroids on the brain. Anabolic steroids are synthetic versions of the male hormone testosterone, which is responsible for the development of muscle mass and strength. When taken in large doses, steroids can alter the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain, which can lead to mood swings, irritability, and aggression.

There are several factors that can contribute to steroid rage, including:
- Dose: The higher the dose of steroids, the greater the risk of experiencing steroid rage.
- Duration of use: The longer an individual uses steroids, the more likely they are to experience steroid rage.
- Genetics: Some individuals may be more predisposed to steroid rage due to their genetics.
- Personality: Individuals with a history of aggression or violence may be more susceptible to steroid rage.
