Abstract
Many drugs and naturally occurring substances can cause significant changes in personality and predispose individuals to behavioral toxicity. These drugs include alcohol, amphetamines, cocaine, anabolic steroids, benzodiazepines, and hallucinogens. This article reviews the behavioral changes caused by these substances and outlines the manifestations of such behavior, including the increased risk of violence and criminal acts.
