Most of the normies out there are neurotic while a much smaller percentage suffer from some form of psychosis.
Neurosis is what I tried to avoid when I was younger pre-psychosis
Psychosis is what I try to avoid now post-having it
Neurosis is like fear. Like being a hypochondriac. Psychosis is symptoms you developed from whatever source, like anxiety, stress, poor health.
Neurosis isn’t used since 1980, it was removed from the DSM manual and is not used by Drs in north america.
" Neurosis is a class of functional mental disorders involving chronic distress, but neither delusions nor hallucinations. The term is no longer used by the professional psychiatric community in the United States, having been eliminated from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) in 1980 with the publication of DSM III. However, it is still used in the ICD-10 Chapter V F40–48."
