neurosis

Etymology

neuro- +‎ -osis

Pronunciation

  • Rhymes: -əʊsɪs

Noun

neurosis (countable and uncountable, plural neuroses)

  1. (pathology) A mental disorder, less severe than psychosis, marked by anxiety or fear which differ from normal measures by their intensity, which disorder results from a failure to compromise or properly adjust during the developmental stages of life, between normal human instinctual impulses and the demands of human society.

Usage notes

The term is no longer part of mainstream psychiatric terminology in the United States, having been eliminated from the DSM in 1980, when its editors decided to provide descriptions of behavior rather than of hidden psychological mechanisms. It may still be found in texts on psychology and philosophy.
