Explain the difference between physical and psychological dependence in the context of addiction.

Physical dependence involves physiological needs and withdrawal symptoms, while psychological dependence involves needing the substance or behavior to relieve negative emotions.

What are the four major symptom clusters of PTSD as defined in the DSM V?

Re-living the event, avoiding situations associated with the event, excessive physiological arousal, and pervasive negative changes in emotions and beliefs.

The video mentions that some psychologists view PTSD as a 'moral injury.' Explain what this perspective entails.

Moral injury refers to the psychological distress resulting from actions, or lack of action, that violate a person's moral or ethical code, not just violence done to them.

Describe the 'Dual Diagnosis Model' of treatment mentioned in the video and why it is important.

The Dual Diagnosis Model treats both addiction and underlying psychological issues (like PTSD) simultaneously, recognizing their interconnectedness.
