Neurosis and Psychosis are different types of category of mental disorders. Neuroses refer to mental health issues that can be considered as issues that an individual is usually aware of.

1. Neuroses - are mental illnesses that often involve symptoms of stress such as depression, anxiety, obsessive behaviour, hypochondria, but not a radical loss of touch with reality.

There are a variety of causes and underlying reasons that cause neuroses to arise such as stress related problems, health problems, the experience of a traumatic event or some other type of event that creates a deep impact into the person's psyche. Neurosis type mental health issues are often treated by a variety of methods such as psychological intervention and discussion session, or counselling sessions, wellness techniques, exposure therapies or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy CBT. Neuroses can include anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and are often not necessarily issues that impair our everyday functions. Neuroses don't arise from what we would call organic diseases and instead can arise as explained above, due to stress etc. Other examples of neuroses can include panic attacks, phobias, addictions, body dysmorphia and other bodily disorders such as bulimia and anorexia.

2. Psychoses - on the other hand are more complex issues and often understood as being a type of mental illness that an individual might have but are often not aware of. Psychosis can arise from teenage years onwards and can affect people from all backgrounds and countries across the world. Psychosis can slowly develop in severity to the point that an individual might experience extreme changes in thought, speech and behaviour, to the extent that a sufferer may have what is deemed as a 'psychotic episode' during the full development of a psychosis, thus requiring immediate medical and psychological assistance and intervention.

Psychoses include a variety of disorder such as Schizophrenia, Bi-polar Disorder (Manic Depression), and other forms of Schizophrenia and delusional major personality and mental disorders. Psychoses are organic in nature and occur via disease of can be inherited. Psychoses are often extreme in nature in the way they affect a sufferer and can cause extreme physical, mental and emotional disruptions. As psychosis are understood as mental health issues that the sufferer isn’t aware that they have, it can often creep up on a person slowly whereby they believe that the thoughts or hallucinations they are having are real and normal, often not initially seeking help until someone else recognises the symptoms and unusual changes in behaviour. Psychoses are classed as severe mental disorders in which thoughts and emotions can become so impaired that often, contact is lost with external reality. Treated mainly by medication, which is often affective and keeping symptoms at bay.
