Dictionary of Problem Words and Expression
Psychotic & neurotic & neurasthenic
These terms are loosely used interchangeably, and for good reason:
it is difficult to separate and applythem exactly.
A psychotic person suffers from a psychosis,
any major, severe, and debilitating mental disease.
A psychotic individual may or may not suffer
the breakdown of some organ (or organs) of hisbody,
but his intellectual powers are severely affected
and he tends to withdraw from reality.
A neurotic person experiences a neurosis,
which is defined as any of several disorders of the mind
or of the emotions,
such as anxiety, nameless fears, andunwarranted dislikes of persons or objects.
Neurasthenic applies to someone who is experiencing neurasthenia,
a mental and physical condition
marked by loss of energy, fatigue, feeling of inadequacy,
and inability to remember details.
A neurasthenic is one suffering
what is vaguely known as a nervous breakdown.
Only individuals with unusually severe mental illness
should be referred to as psychotic.
The exact term to be applied to others
had best be left to psychologists and psychiatrists.
