alcohol abuse: In the DSM-5 [fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders], the categories "alcohol abuse" and "alcohol dependence" have been replaced with the overarching category "alcohol use disorder." This change was made to avoid the confusion between "dependence" and "addiction" and the use of the word "abuse," which can be considered stigmatizing. 3, record 1, English, - alcohol%20abuse

abus d'alcool : Dans le DSM-5 [cinquième édition du Manuel diagnostique et statistique des troubles mentaux] les catégories «abus d'alcool» et «dépendance à l'alcool» ont été remplacées par la catégorie générale «trouble de l'usage de l'alcool». Ce changement visait à éviter la confusion entre «dépendance» et «addiction» ainsi que l'utilisation du mot «abus», qui peut être considéré comme stigmatisant. 2, record 1, French, - abus%20d%27alcool
