Answer:

Dependence leads an addict to rely on a drug just to be able to function.

Explanation:

Psychological dependence involves emotional-motivational withdrawal symptoms (e.g. anxiety, anhedonia, etc.) upon cessation of drug use.

This means that when an addict stops taking a drug they have become dependent on they encounter a wide variety of negative symptoms. This makes an addiction incredibly difficult to overcome because the addict is very likely to take more of the drug in order to stop the withdrawal symptoms. As usage continues, the addict needs to take higher dosages in order to combat the withdrawal symptoms. This leads to the danger of overdose and the strengthing of withdrawal symptoms as drug usage continues.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The correct answer is repression.
According to Freud, Creed's feelings of anxiety and nervousness would stem from him repressing his memories of his military combat, however, this is not the case here. Creed is clearly aware of what happened to him in the past and he cannot forget those memories, even though he would very much like to.
