Anabolic-androgenic steroids
           (AAS)
       By: Rodney Mitchell
Steroids
• Steroids are very bad for your body
  because they can cause you to have very
  bad health conditions. This can cause you
  to have a very bad heart and be addicted
  to this drug. People will overuse steroids
  and then use more than they should the
  will stack them.
How are steroids abused?
• Some people abuse and overuse steroids.
  Most of the people that abuse steroids are
  athletes because they are trying to make out
  the ability in sports. People abuse them by
  using them over and over this is usually
  referred to as cycling. Cycling is when you use
  them for a short period of time and then stop
  and then start back and continue the process
  over and over again.
How do steroids affect the brain?
• The immediate effects of steroids in the brain
  are meditated by their binding to androgen
  (male sex hormone) and estrogen (female sex
  hormone) receptors on the surface of a cell.
What are treatment options for
               steroids?
• There has been very little research done for
  steroid abuse. They have learned that, in
  general, supportive therapy combined with
  education about possible withdrawal
  symptoms is sufficient in some cases.
  Sometimes medication can be used to restore
  the balance of the hormonal system after its
  disruption by steroid abuse.
