Yes. Hormones and your neuroendocrine system regulate a number of important functions in your body including, but not limited to: sleep, mood, appetite, memory, attention, immunity, digestion, growth, libido, etc. Drastic changes in any hormones can affect mood just as readily as any of the aforementioned processes.
I've been up all night, constantly wanting to jerkoff, I have had ADHD (ADD but worse) but I seem to be increasingly irritable to where I'm even noticing itQuote:

The Archives of General Psychiatry, The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism and the National Center for Biotechnology Information have all done studies relaying that the use of anabolic steroids have no psychological effects and that if they do they are so small they cannot be measured.
All fo that said there are other things to consider but that's the above is the most important factor and one that's often ignored.
This is my .02 on sauce use.
There are different ways to use juice. The lighter you go, the milder the effects on everything including your mental state.
I have been through the ringer recently while running a very heavy Tren cycle. It was no joke, I felt very rough. And this is just a simple example.
Another way to think what it does to your mind is when you come off you will have a constant thought that you have lost the edge you had while on the sauce.
You need to focus on your mind process. Take a step back and really look at what is going on and how you are changing. And I damn near guarantee you will change mentally when you get deeper into steroid use. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it can be.
I agree. Personally I feel different on cycle. I tend to have more anxiety, definitely a little more edgyness(if I let myself get that way) sometimes I feel like my brain works better even. Sounds crazy but it seems like I can at times focus better and I have more energy. Hormones definitely will affect your day to day. Like Sampson said, could be good or could be bad. Personally I try and keep my cycles on the lighter side. Slow and steady wins the race.Quote:

Juice is no joke, specially when ran at a heavy dose of multiple substances. Test only cycles at a "normal" dose are straight nothing compared to something like my last cycle or my next cycle.
Not entirely correct. Studies have demonstrated that AAS abuse can reduce BDNF in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex which correlates with depression. An effect that is reversed by chlorimipramine administration (an antidepressant).Quote:

It is worth mentioning however, that many of the mood disturbances such as depression, mania and other psychiatric features are likely to be dose and duration dependent. In a study of 160 anabolic steroid users, 25% of users reported major mood syndromes--mania, hypomania, or major depression--in association with steroid use.
