Addiction: Is "psychological dependence." it refers to the compulsive use of a substance despite the drug's potential for physical, psychological and social harm to the user. Patients who are addicted have lost control over the drug use and continue to use the drug in a compulsive manner. Hope it helps. Rec.: talk toy our doctor for more information and clarification.
