Neurosis

Neurosis was once recognized as a mental and emotional disorder. However, because the term Neurosis is too imprecise and less serious than the word psychosis it is no longer used. What psychologists once referred to as neurotic is now part of other classifications of anxiety, somatoform, dissociative disorders and some forms of depression.

Outdated But Still Used

Even though neurosis is an outdated term, you may still hear it used loosely to refer to problems involving excessive anxiety, nervousness or phobias.
