=====Neurosis=====
In [[psychoanalysis]], however, "[[psychosis]]" is often used to describe a ''severe'' form of '''mental illness'', while "'''[[neurosis]]'''" is used to describe ''less severe'' forms.
[[Freud]] developed a distinction between "'''[[neurosis]]'''" and "[[psychosis]]" which is basic to [[psychoanalysis]], according to which "[[psychosis]]" denotes a ''serious'' type of '''mental illness''' and "'''[[neurosis]]'''" a ''less serious'' type of '''mental illness'''.
