Psychosis
Losing the ability to tell internal experience from external reality: delusions, hallucinations, or both. Rare, disproportionately reported on the strongly androgenic 19-nor compounds, and a medical emergency.

Dependence and Withdrawal
Difficulty stopping despite harm, with low mood, lost drive and fatigue on withdrawal. Recognised as a genuine dependence syndrome in around a third of long-term users.
Suicidal Thoughts
Thoughts of ending your life, most often reported in the weeks after stopping, when natural testosterone has not restarted and mood has not recovered. It is documented in case series and in withdrawal cohorts. It is listed here because leaving out the most serious outcome in the group would make everything above it read as the full picture.
