Neurosis is a psychiatric symptom characterized by a feeling of distress, but without hallucinations or delusions, and where behavior remains within the range of socially acceptable norms. Once considered a separate diagnosis, it is now seen as a symptom of other psychiatric disorders. The most common diagnosis for a neurotic patient is generalized anxiety disorder. However, it can also point to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder or one of any of the phobias or personality disorders.

- Neurosis (from the Greek νεύρωσις) refers to a class of functional mental disorder involving distress but not delusions nor hallucinations, where behavior is not outside socially acceptable norms. It is also known as psychoneurosis or neurotic disorder, and thus those suffering from it are said to be neurotic. Once a common psychiatric diagnosis, the term is no longer part of mainstream psychiatric terminology in the United States, though it continues to be employed in psychoanalytic theory and practice, and in various other theoretical disciplines.
