Withdrawals refer to the process of taking money out of a bank account or financial institution. This can occur through various methods, such as using an ATM, writing a check, or making a transfer. Withdrawals reduce the account balance and can be subject to fees or limits depending on the account type and institution policies. In the context of psychology, withdrawals can also describe a person's physical and emotional symptoms when they stop using a substance, such as drugs or alcohol. These symptoms can include anxiety, irritability, and physical discomfort, and they often require medical support to manage effectively.
