D. hallucinogens

Explanation

Solution

The term psychological dependence is generally meant to describe the emotional and mental processes that are associated with the development of, and recovery from, a substance use disorder or process addiction.

Complete step by step answer:
Generally, sedatives and tranquilizers depress or slow down some of the body functions or the activity of an organ, such as the heart. Mild sedatives and tranquilizers may be used to reduce anxiety or other nervous system problems, they also promote sleep or regulate an organ system. Stimulants are the drugs that stimulate the nervous system and make a person more alert and active. They cause excitement and have pleasurable effects. They are swallowed, snorted, or injected. These drugs include natural stimulants such as caffeine and cocaine and synthetic stimulants such as amphetamines. They do not cause true physiological dependence. The addiction is psychological and withdrawal causes anxiety, depression, and restlessness. Opiates are the substance used to treat pain or cause sleep. Opiates are made from opium or they have opium in them. Opiates bind to opioid receptors in the central nervous system(CNS). Examples of opiates are codeine, heroin, and morphine. An opiate is a type of analgesic agent. Hallucinogens are a diverse group of drugs that changes perception, thoughts, and feelings. They cause hallucinations or sensations and images that seem real, but they are not. Hallucinogens are of two types: classic hallucinogens and dissociative drugs.
So, the correct answer is B

Note: The more widely abused stimulants are amphetamines and cocaine. Cocaine has limited commercial use and its sale and possession are strictly controlled. Amphetamines are sometimes prescribed by physicians, and their availability makes them prime candidates for misuse.
