answer: Drug dependence occurs when you need one or more drugs to function. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) used to distinguish between dependence and abuse. Abuse was considered the mild or early phase of inappropriate drug use that led to dependence. People viewed dependence as a more severe problem than abuse.

The APA replaced “dependence” and “abuse” with “substance use disorder” in the 2013 edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). This diagnosis focuses on the disorder involving the use of the substance.

Why are some proteins and fatty acids considered essential
k0ka [10]
Because fatty acids are also known as lipids and lipids are used for long term energy, and proteins are also used for energy. I think that this makes them essential because they are able to keep a healthy amount of energy in their system and without them they would not be able to do so.
