Sedative-hypnotic Abuse

Sedative-Hypnotic Abuse is a pattern of maladaptive use of central nervous system depressant drugs, belonging to the broader category of substance use disorders, distinguished by the recurrent and non-medical consumption of sedative or hypnotic agents—such as benzodiazepines or barbiturates—to induce calming, sleep-promoting, or anxiolytic effects despite significant physical, psychological, or social harm.
