F18.2: Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of volatile solvents Dependence syndrome

You are dependent on solvents.

You have consumed volatile solvents. Volatile solvents are substances that evaporate easily. These solvents are found in things like glues and lacquers. Solvents can be inhaled or sniffed, for example.

You are dependent on solvents. When you are dependent on solvents, you have a constant strong desire to consume solvents. You may then find it difficult to control your consumption and need more and more solvents. Not consuming solvents may then lead to you having physical or mental problems. The addiction may cause you to neglect other things in your day-to-day life.
