Context
Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders
The DSM-5 (2013) now recognizes these distinct classes of drugs: alcohol, caffeine, cannabis, hallucinogens, other hallucinogens, inhalants, opioids, sedatives, hypnotics, anxiolytics, stimulants, tobacco, and other substances.
The DSM-5 (2013) explains that activation of the brain’s reward system is central to problems arising from drug use. The pleasurable feeling that people experience as a result of taking drugs may be so profound that they neglect other normal activities in favor of taking the drug. While the pharmacological mechanisms for each class of drug are different, the activation of the reward system is similar across substances in producing feelings of pleasure or euphoria, which are often referred to as a high.
The DSM-5 (2013) also recognizes that people are not all automatically or equally vulnerable to developing substance-related disorders. Some individuals have lower levels of self-control, which may be brain based and predispose them to developing problems if exposed to drugs.
There are two groups of substance-related disorders:
Substance use disorders.
Substance-induced disorders.
Substance use disorders are patterns of symptoms resulting from use of a substance the individual continues to take, despite experiencing problems as a result.
Substance-induced disorders are symptoms that can be caused directly by the drug during or immediately after individual episodes of use.
