Neuroticism is a dimension of personality in many systems of personality psychology. Neuroticism's inverse is emotional stability. Common characteristics of neuroticism are the following:
- Stressed out easily
- High emotional reactivity; easily becomes anxious, worried, sad, frustrated, or angry
- Low self-esteem
- Prone to worry, brood, or ruminate
- Hypochondriasis
- Shyness
- Compulsive rituals to alleviate worry
- Sensitive to signs of interpersonal rejection
- Offended easily
Emotional stability is probably best defined as a lack of neurotic symptoms:
- Calm in demanding situations
- Comfortable among strangers
- Little anxiety
- Bad moods are infrequent and go away quickly.

| Both of your threads lack DSM-IV criteria for how many traits in each category qualify for a diagnosis. |

Neuroticism is a dimension of personality along with extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to new experiences. It is not in itself a mental or behavioral health disorder in the DSM-IV-TR or Chapter V of the ICD-10. The same goes for psychoticism and schizotypy, where schizotypy is not equivalent to the DSM-IV-TR's schizotypal personality disorder (301.22) or the ICD-10's schizotypal disorder (F21). |

On an even less serious note, what's the difference between neurotic and psychotic? A psychotic person thinks 1+1=3. A neurotic knows 1+1=2 but they hate it. ((That one made me laugh the first time I read it)) |

But 1+1 IS 3!
It's such an easy joke, I couldn't help but using it.

There is another way of expressing the divide between 'neurotic' and 'psychotic'.
Neurotics: Build 'Castles in the Air'
Psychotics: Move in to the Castles
Psychiatrists: Collect the Rent (become 'landlords') |
