  5. http://www.dsm5.org/Documents/Substance%20Use%20Disorder%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/dsmfactsheet/dsmfact.pdf Alcohol Use Disorder: A Comparison Between DSM–IV and DSM–5 DSM-V - Major Changes to Addictive Disease Classifications    2010 - Marchby Bob CurleyThe first draft of the American Psychiatric Association’s (APA) latest Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) eliminates the disease categories for substance abuse and dependence and replaces it with a new “addictions and related disorders” -- just one of several major changes to the “Bible” used almost universally to diagnose (and get insurance reimbursement for) behavioral-health problems. “Eliminating the category of dependence will better differentiate between the compulsive drug-seeking behavior of addiction and normal responses of tolerance and withdrawal that some patients experience when using prescribed medications that affect the central nervous system,” the APA explained in a Feb. 10 press release. “The term dependence is misleading, because people confuse it with addiction, when in fact the tolerance and withdrawal patients experience are very normal responses to prescribed medications that affect the central nervous system,” said Charles O’Brien, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the APA’s DSM Substance-Related Disorders Work Group. “On the other hand, addiction is compulsive drug- seeking behavior which is quite different. We hope that this new classification will help end this wide-spread misunderstanding.” The new category for addictive diseases would include a variety of “substance-use disorders” broken down by drug type, such as “cannabis-use disorder” and “alcohol-use disorder.” Diagnostic criteria for these disorders in DSM-V would remain “very similar” to those found in the current DSM-IV, according to APA. However, the symptom of “drug craving” would be added to the criteria, while a symptom that referred to “problems with law enforcement” would be eliminated “because of cultural considerations that make the criteria difficult to apply internationally,” APA said. Also new to the DSM-V are diagnostic criteria for “cannabis withdrawal,” which the APA says is caused by “cessation of cannabis use that has been heavy and prolonged,” results in “clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning,” and is characterized by at least three of these symptoms: irritability, anger or aggression; nervousness or anxiety; sleep difficulties (insomnia); decreased appetite or weight loss; restlessness; depressed mood; and or physical symptoms such as stomach pain, shakiness or tremors, sweating, fever, chills, and headache. Battle Over ‘Addiction’ and ‘Dependence’ The APA has gone back and forth between use of the terms “addiction” and “dependence” to describe alcohol and other drug problems, noted researcher Stanton Peele, Ph.D. “Every book I’ve written has the word “addiction” in the title, so I’m glad the term will now be recognized,” wrote Peele in the Huffington Post on Feb. 11. “But the change back may make us wonder whether we will have to reconsider every twenty years or so whether it is more beneficial or harmful to use a word loaded with cultural meanings (“addiction”), or a more neutral term (“dependence”).” In fact, “dependence” made it into the DSM-IV by just a single vote, O’Brien noted in a May 2006 editorial in the American Journal of Psychiatry co-authored by Nora Volkow, M.D., director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and T-K Li, M.D., then-head of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. “Experience over the past two decades has demonstrated that this decision was a serious mistake,” the trio wrote. “The term ‘dependence’ has traditionally been used to describe ‘physical dependence,’ which refers to the adaptations that result in withdrawal symptoms when drugs, such as alcohol and heroin, are discontinued. Physical dependence is also observed with certain psychoactive medications, such as antidepressants and beta-blockers. However, the adaptations associated with drug withdrawal are distinct from the adaptations that result in addiction, which refers to the loss of control over the intense urges to take the drug even at the expense of adverse consequences.”
  6.   B. Trends in Drug Use 1. The perceived risk decreases as drug use increases; as drug use decreases the perceived risk increases. 2. The perceived availability of marijuana has changed little over time and, therefore, does not appear to explain differences in rates of use. 3. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health is a door-to-door survey estimating drug use in adolescents and adults in the United States. 4. Alcohol and cocaine use in 18- to 25-year-olds stays fairly consistent over time. 5. Drug use patterns seen in multiple surveys are most likely to be accurate. 6. Decreases or increases in drug use are not related to changes in government legislation, but are related to social trends. Have Things Really Changed? 1. Humans have used psychoactive drugs for thousands of years for therapeutic and recreational purposes. 2. Drug use has affected society in many areas: religion, law, government, economics, language, and education.

  8. Opioids are synthetic opiates.
  9. The poppy Papavar somniferum is the main source of nonsynthetic narcotics.
  10. Caffeine is the number one drug of choice for many Americans.
  11. Americans’ attitude concerning nitrous oxide was nonchalant in the first half of the 19th century.
  12. Cigarette smoking is the single largest preventable cause mania, of illness and premature death in the United States.
