(1) tolerance, as defined by either of the following: 
 (a) a need for markedly increased amounts of the substance to achieve Intoxication or desired effect 
 (b) markedly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount of the substance 

(2) Withdrawal, as manifested by either of the following: 
 (a) the characteristic withdrawal syndrome for the substance (refer to Criteria A and B of the criteria sets for Withdrawal from the specific substances) 
 (b) the same (or a closely related) substance is taken to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms

(6) important social, occupational, or recreational activities are given up or reduced because of substance use 

(7) the substance use is continued despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated by the substance (e.g., current cocaine use despite recognition of cocaine-induced depression, or continued drinking despite recognition that an ulcer was made worse by alcohol consumption)

Term

A. A maladaptive pattern of substance use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, as manifested by one (or more) of the following, occurring within a 12-month period:

(4) intense desire to participate in the stereotypical games and pastimes of the other sex 
(5) strong preference for playmates of the other sex.
