Neurosis
Neurosis, also known as psychoneurosis or neurotic disorder, is a "catch all" term that refers to any mental imbalance that causes distress, but, unlike a psychosis or some personality disorders, does not prevent rational thought or an individual's ability to function in daily life. It is particularly associated with the discipline/school of psychoanalysis, which is not to be confused with psychology or psychiatry.
