Why Men Use Steroids - NIDA Research: 32% Dependence?
In this video I review NIDA’s report on why men use steroids and other appearance and performance enhancing drugs. It’s great to see the National Institute on Drug Abuse recognizing many of the reasons men use steroids, as well as the fact that the majority of steroid users are non-athletes. There are some aspects I see in my practice that NIDA doesn’t cover, which I also cover in this video. One of their key findings is that many men experience depression after using steroids, which can lead them to start again and become dependent. Hopefully this is the start of more people (and doctors!) recognizing the need for compassionate care for men who have used steroids.
