CASE EXAMPLE: Jоаnnа wаs recently admitted tо the hоspital for an extended stay related to a damaged lung. After surgery she was administered Demerol to alleviate her pain. She was allowed to receive this drug intravenously each hour and not more frequently. At first Joanna needed the drug to lessen the pain in her side, but she soon began to notice her need to use the drug to stop feeling sick as the drug wore off. After 24 hours of this cycle, the nurse suggested that Joanna stop taking the drug in order to let her body produce natural pain relief. Joanna did this and never took the drug or any like it again. Based on the information provided in the case, what would be the DSM 5 diagnosis that best describes Joanna’s condition?
