Neurosis:

Neurosis is a little used term referring to mental disorders characterized by significant anxiety or other distressing emotional symptoms, such as persistent and irrational fears, obsessive thoughts, compulsive acts, dissociative states, and somatic and depressive reactions. The symptoms don’t involve gross personality disorganization, total lack of insight, or loss of contact with reality (as in psychosis). In psychoanalysis, neuroses are generally viewed as exaggerated, unconscious methods of coping with internal conflicts and the anxiety they produce. Neuroses today are classified as anxiety disorders.
