this is q from NMS, and sometimes the questions or the answers in NMS are confusing. I think these questions are not designed to check your knowledge, but your skills to interpret the question or the answers.
The answer says (b). I am not sure about it, I worked in psychiatric unit for 6 months, I never heard of it. HOWEVER I havent checked it as well, So it may be right.
explanation:
a) its not fairly common, its rare to develop dependence this way
c) deviant social behavior is common in opiate addicts
d) no organic delusional disorder is associated with opiate dependence. Its mostly physical symptoms that appear during withdrawal
e) addicted individuals tend to be isolated from NON-ADDICTS, however they associate with other addicts and take drug in groups. (weird choice?)
