Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ian's behavior is an example of psychological dependence, as he uses heroin to cope with negative emotions and enhance positive ones, indicating that he has become emotionally attached to the drug. This is distinct from physical dependence, which refers to the body's physiological adaptation to the presence of a drug, which can result in withdrawal symptoms when the drug is discontinued. The other options, narcolepsy, insomnia, and increased tolerance, do not fit Ian's situation as they are not related to drug use or addiction.
