Here is an article published in a respected journal, Annals of Medicine, that describes the difference between dependence and addiction.

I hope that this article will help to explain.

Thank you. I have downloaded 5 more articles from the scientific literature if you need them, Remember, addiction is psychological. Physical dependence means you need the drug/medication to function normally and optimally. Think "insulin" as a simple example.
