Withdrawal is the combination of physical and mental effects that a person experiences after they stop using or reduce their intake of a substance such as alcohol and prescription or recreational drugs.

Withdrawal behaviors are the actions a person takes when they become physically and/or psychologically disengaged from the organization. Some commonly noted withdrawal behaviors are physical such as: absenteeism, lateness/tardiness, and turnover.

The theory of job withdrawal explains the process someone goes through when they are not motivated, or happy, at work. There are many motivation theories that attempt to explain people’s motivation or lack of motivation at work.

One of the most common reasons that people become withdrawn from others is that they are suffering from depression. In fact, one of the major symptoms that helps psychiatrists to identify depression is the tendency to withdraw from social interaction.

Withdrawal symptoms include:

• Increased appetite.
• Anhedonia, depression, mild anxiety, and a loss of motivation.
• Severe cravings.
• The potential to develop hallucinations and/or delusions.

Stress: It is psychologically stressful to stop taking a drug, especially for people who try to do it cold turkey or alone. This stress may lead to relapse, or it could lead to a prolonged experience of withdrawal symptoms, as the individual tries to make sense of life without drugs or alcohol.
