<unk>  is a cognitive disorder that involves emotional–motivational withdrawal symptoms, e.g. anxiety and anhedonia, upon cessation of prolonged drug abuse or certain repetitive behaviours. It develops through frequent exposure to a psychoactive substance or behaviour, though behavioural dependence is less talked about. The specific mechanism involves a neuronal counter-adaption, which could be mediated through changes in neurotransmittor activity or altered receptor expression. Withdrawal symptoms can be attenuated by environmental enrichment and physical activity.<unk>  is not to be confused with physical dependence, which induces physical withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation of use. However they are not mutually exclusive.
