Is homosexuality considered an illness according to the American medical association if so how is it considered to be and when was it determined?
Homosexuality used to be considered a psychological disorder but that has not been true since the publication of the 3rd Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-III) in the 1980s. The American Psychological Association considers any attempt to "treat" (i.e., get rid of) homosexuality to be unethical. An exception is when the homosexuality is a source of considerable distress or anxiety for the patient/client, but in such a case, it is the anxiety that is treated, not the sexual orientation.
Is addiction a physical dependence?
Addiction can be a physical dependence. Physical addiction is not the only form of addiction. There is also psychological addiction, which is also considered addiction. A physical dependence and a psychological dependence often coincide with one another, but they don't always have to. Usually, psychological dependence comes first. One could be addicted to alcohol psychologically, meaning they have overwhelming desire to the point that it feels like a need to drink. Drinking too much alcohol on a regular basis can lead to a physical alcohol addiction, meaning the person has to drink alcohol for their body to function. The psychological addiction may even be gone at this point, and they not want to drink anymore, however the physical addiction is still there. Another example could be in marijuana. Marijuana can be very psychologically addictive, however it causes no physical addiction. Either way, an addiction is an addiction, be it physical, psychological, or both.

Drugs that have the features of tolerance and withdrawal are considered?
They are considered to be physically addictive (as opposed to chemically addictive or psychologically addictive).Note that drugs that are physically addictive (alcohol and opiates) are also extremely chemically and psychologically addictive as well. But physical addiction trumps those two. Physical addiction means you get violently ill, and can even die, if you suddenly stop taking the drug. That is not true of chemical and psychological addiction.
