Short answer, no.
Long answer, they've got some similar characteristics, but I wouldn't call the same thing, no.

Longer answer might be, co-dependent means the other person has an issue and you're kinda more concerned about them "getting better" to where you use it as an excuse for your own inability to change or grow; dependent - less focus on the other person's issues? I would just latch on to anybody.

I posted this question over a year ago, and haven't actively pursued an answer, so obviously I wasn't that concerned about it. Thanx, but just sayin'.

Shortandcute, From the little I know, I have no evidence it really is a term of distinction. Co-dependence seems to refer to the dynamic of a relationship where both partners are bound by the compulsion to provide and the need to receive.
