Drs Opinion of Difference Between Physical and Psychological Dependence?
Question by Laura: drs opinion of difference between physical and psychological dependence?
Best answer:
Answer by Honor
Physical dependence is where your body actually requires whatever drug to function properly whereas psychological dependence is where your body actually doesn’t need it to function but your brain has convinced itself it does.
This difference is important especially in terms of detox of drug addicts because if there is a physical addiction, death can occur if a user tries to quit “cold turkey” (giving his or her body no time to adjust functioning without the drug). Heroin is a common example of a drug that is both physically and psychologically addicting.

I am not 100% on whether there were Drug Lords in the 1800s but I do not that Heroin and Cocaine was being tossed around here and there beginning in the mid 1800’s. There were also Organized Crime in the 1800s so if you would want an answer then I would probably say yeah but don’t count me on that one.

Best answer:
Answer by Marjorie S
do some research. it’s very addictive and all it takes is one time. dont they teach you about drugs in school?
Answer by PurrfectPeach
It depends on the size and strength of the doses, how it is taken (smoked, snorted, injected?) and the individual. FYI, mental dependency, feeling like you need the drug, is very different from physical addiction, where if you stop taking the drug you will experience withdrawal symptoms.
With marijuana, for example, you may become mentally dependent, and you may build a tolerance (need more to get high) but there is no physical withdrawal no matter how much or how long you use it. With heroin and cocaine, withdrawal is possible and can be very severe, even life-threatening.
