Which of the following best describes Psychological Dependence?

A significant behavioral or psychological syndrome
A structured tool for documenting professional judgment
Characterized by compulsive misuse of a substance
Repeat drug use to avert physical withdrawal reactions

The correct answer is: Characterized by compulsive misuse of a substance

Psychological dependence is typically characterized by a compulsive misuse of a substance despite negative consequences. It involves a strong emotional or mental attachment to the substance, leading to a perceived need to continue using it. This differs from physical dependence, which involves experiencing withdrawal symptoms when the substance is not consumed. Option A refers to a different concept, Option B describes a tool for professional judgment, and Option D pertains to physical dependence, making them incorrect in the context of psychological dependence.
