Neurosis In The Long Run

Neurosis was a term for a class of functional mental disorders involving distress but neither delusions nor hallucinations, also now known as psychoneurosis.
These disorders are a result of faulty ways of coping up with problems or obstacles that leave issues unresolved and inner conflicts repressed or ignored by unhealthy defense mechanisms. The defense mechanism alleviates the pain or uneasiness momentarily but leads to higher dissatisfaction and negativity in the long run.
