What is the difference between substance use and a substance-use disorder?
What will be an ideal response?
Most health professionals use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders (DSM-5) of the American Psychiatric Association (2013) in defining
substance use disorders. According to the DSM-5, substance use disorders may
develop with repeated use of a substance, according to the manual, leading to changes
in "brain circuitry" that are connected with impaired control over use of the substance,
social problems, risky behavior (such as reckless driving or "unprotected" sex), and
biological factors suggestive of addiction. Some substances can lead to physical
addiction? when the dosage is lowered, withdrawal symptoms, also known as
abstinence syndrome, occur. When addicted individuals lower their intake of alcohol,
for example, they may experience symptoms such as tremors (shakes), high blood
pressure, rapid heart and pulse rate, anxiety, restlessness, and weakness. Three of the
most common types of abused substances are depressants, stimulants, and
hallucinogens.
