4. Physical dependence

The body adapts to the constant presence of a substance to the point where it becomes necessary for normal functioning. Suddenly stopping use leads to withdrawal syndrome – unpleasant and sometimes dangerous physical and psychological symptoms (nausea, tremors, sweating, anxiety, depression).
