Steroid use may promote a false sense of invincibility, increased aggression, and severe depression. Abuse of these drugs can severely affect the liver, cardiovascular system, and reproductive system. Males often have a reduction in natural testosterone production, causing atrophy of the testicles, which leads to sterility and impotence. Many females exhibit irreversible development of masculine traits, such as growth of body hair, deepening of the voice, loss of
scalp hair, smaller breasts, and enlarged clitoris.
