There are two main types of steroids: anabolic steroids and corticosteroids.

Generally, corticosteroids are more commonly used in medicine to treat arthritis and asthma by reducing inflammation.

Anabolic steroids are used more in the sports world by body builders and are more easily abused, but they can be used to treat anemia and muscle weakness after surgery.

The very beginning of anabolic steroids began in the 1930's when Adolf Butnandt began isolating male hormones from urine and began to evolve them into steroids from there.

Shortly after, Leopold Ruzicka found a way to synthesize these hormones, making them safe for human use. Butnandt and Ruzicka were given the Nobel Prize for the first batch of synthetic testosterone in 1939.

The soviets began to dominate the athletics fields with this new drug, and when steroids made it to America, the competition began.

Steroids became a huge thing, especially in Germany, where steroid research was at its peak, and the war on steroids began when steroids dominated the Olympics in 1967. The FDA would make steroids available by prescription only ,but this did not stop steroids from bring widely available elsewhere.

In 1990, US Congress passed the Steroids Control Act which classified steroids as Schedule III drugs. Ironically, this is when steroids use began to pick up in medicine.

To this day, the use of steroids has not declined in the athletic field or the medical field, and it doesn't look like use will decline anytime soon.

There are several types of steroid abuse:

Stacking: Combining two or more types of steroids.
----------------------------------------------------
This is harmful because steroids are not to be taken in large doses; our bodies cannot handle that much.
----------------------------------------------------
Cycling: Taking steroids for a period of time, stopping, and then restarting.

Pyramiding: gradually increasing the dose or frequency of abuse, reaching a peak point, and then tapering off.
----------------------------------------------------
These methods are harmful because prescription steroids are meant to be taken continuously, so when the doses re staggered or inconsistent, our bodies struggle to process the steroids.
