I wonder if what we are calling roid rage is a collection of codeveloping or preexisting mental disorders. It is possibly these disorders that lead to the use of steroids in the first place. I did a check on wikipedia.org and discovered "RR" is difficult to study because of coexisting cluster b disorders but what do you think? Is it real or is it the media?
*Note a former question with this title turned up the "best answer" that roid rage is comparable to other extreme drug withdrawls.

A "roid rage" is a flash of heat, like a child's temper tantrum. It a quick outburst of violence or aggression and usually leaves as fast as it arrived.
A few facts: Anabolic Steroids have used for numerous medical purposes including stimulation of bone growth, appetite, puberty, and muscle growth. They have been used for prisoners of war to help them grow. For bone marrow stimulation, for children with growth failure (dwarfs), stimulate appetite, stimulate libido, testosterone therapy, fight many age related problems and bring on stalled puberty. The most widespread medical uses of anabolic steroids are used to help people with chronic wasting conditions, such as cancer and AIDS.
Despite rumors and heresy, no scientific evidence has shown any long-term serious health defects from proper use of anabolic steroids.
If someone's a violent, controlling person, using or not using steroids isn't going to change that

There are many pharmaceuticals that have irritability as a side effect. Anyone taking controlled substances without the supervision of a competent physician risks anything from mild irritability to psychotic episodes.

I certainly believe it is real, simply because of the prevalence of violent behavior among those that make chronic use of anabolic steroids, like professional wrestlers and body builders.
