Psychosis
Losing the ability to tell internal experience from external reality: delusions, hallucinations, or both. Rare, disproportionately reported on the strongly androgenic 19-nor compounds, and a medical emergency.
Withdrawal Syndrome
The cluster that arrives after stopping, while the natural axis is still shut down: flat mood, no drive, no libido, disturbed sleep, and in some cases suicidal thoughts. Separated from dependence because dependence is about the pull to continue and this is about what happens when you do not. It is the window in which almost all of the serious psychiatric events in the literature occur.
