Here's ur Answer.. :)
In essence, psychological dependence is a form of psychological addiction. An affected person may or may not have a physical dependence on drugs or alcohol, or develop an addict’s characteristic uncontrolled substance intake. However, regardless of the presence/absence of physical dependence or addiction, the individual makes substance use a primary theme of day-to-day thinking, emotional responses and actions. As a rule, if you’re psychologically dependent on a substance, you have a compelling urge to consume it, even though you know it can cause serious harm. Even substances not capable of triggering physical dependence or addiction can trigger psychological dependence.
