Anyone know anything about steroid use and their effects on behavior?

Hi,
Not sure I am posting on the right site, but if anyone has any knowledge of what steroid use can do to moods, mental health, etc. I would like to hear about it.

I have a co-worker who may or may not be on steroids. His moods have always been up and down, but in the last 6 months he has been extremely hot and cold. One day he is his usual joking, freindly self, the next he is sullen, moody, pouty, barely talks unless spoken to. It is driving us nuts, and I am also concerned that he needs help.
Not sure how any of us could, but he is a great worker and would hate to see him go if something is going on. He probably isn't open to any help offered, but there are a few of us who are concerned.
Thanks for any info you may have.

Here is a link with information

Steroids also can have the following effects on the mind and behavior:

"Roid rage" - severe, aggressive behavior that may result in violence, such as fighting or destroying property
Severe mood swings
Hallucinations - seeing or hearing things that are not really there
Paranoia - extreme feelings of mistrust and fear
Anxiety and panic attacks
Depression and thoughts of suicide
An angry, hostile, or irritable mood

Thanks Morning Glory,
Though I and his co-workers have no proof he is using steroids, he is a "work-out aholic" and has bulked up ALOT.
Thanks for the site info.
