APA Dictionary of Psychology

in DSM–IV–TR, repeated or continued use of an amphetamine or amphetamine-like substance despite significant substance-related behavioral, physiological, and psychosocial problems, with or without tolerance or characteristic symptoms if use is suspended (see amphetamine withdrawal). In DSM–5 and DSM-5-TR, amphetamine dependence has been combined with amphetamine abuse into a single disorder, and neither is considered a distinct diagnosis any longer (see stimulant use disorder). See also substance dependence.
