"Substance abuse. DSM-IV created separate
diagnoses for "abuse" and "dependence" in people having problems with
mind-altering substances such as marijuana and narcotics. The DSM-5
workgroup in this area agreed that the vast amount of research conducted
in recent decades pointed to substance-related problems as occurring on
a continuum, such that the abuse-dependence distinction was purely
arbitrary.
Hence, DSM-5 will instead feature "substance use disorders" as the diagnosis for people with such problems.
Also out are physical tolerance and withdrawal symptoms as criteria
for a disorder diagnosis. O'Brien noted that these reflect the body's
adaptation to chemicals and are not necessary to a diagnosis."
I totally agree!
