There's a correlation, but it's because violent and unhinged people are more likely to take anabolics, and certain anabolics will increase aggression, it's quite simple really. Will they turn someone from completely normal into a violent psychopath? Absolutely not, that's completely absurd. You have to be very careful with "study says this!".
Alcohol has a FAR, FAR greater connection with violence, and yet most people up in arms about "roid rage" are happily sipping away apparently unaware of the irony.
- mynameisvlad 10mo agoWe get it, you take testosterone. Nobody here has said they turn you into a raging psychopath. Nobody even mentioned alcohol. That’s called moving the goalposts. Replying to three people in the same comment thread does not help your case. Neither is ignoring the entirety of my comment even though it directly contradicted the majority of yours.
- solumunus 10mo agoI suggested that the claim that testosterone driving people to suicide or extreme violence is absurd and your attempted refutation of that was an epidemiological study showing that testosterone users are more likely to be depressed or kill themselves… I’m not ignoring it, I’m reiterating my original point which your study doesn’t even slightly refute. Maybe I’m missing something, can you elaborate on why your study shows that it is not absurd? I apologise for being passionate about the subject, it’s just frustrating to me that the mainstream view is so out of touch with reality.
