Drug withdrawal refers to the physiological and psychological symptoms that occur when an individual abruptly reduces or stops the intake of a substance they have become dependent on. This is clinically significant as it can lead to severe complications, including seizures, delirium, or even death, depending on the substance involved. A common example is alcohol withdrawal, which can manifest as tremors, anxiety, and, in severe cases, delirium tremens.
