Psychotropic effects of androgens: a review of clinical observations and new human experimental findings
Abstract
In a review article, clinical literature concerned with the psychotropic effects of androgens is presented, and the results of experimental clinical work from biochemistry, electrophysiology and psychoexperimental tests are reported. The conclusion that androgens do have psychotropic properties similar to those of well known psychotropic substances is based on evidence from a number of sources: Clinical observations of patients with androgen deficiency or excess, observations of the effect of androgen therapy, and lastly experimental work with methods developed especially for testing psychotropic substances.
