neurosis: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que las designaciones "neurosis" y "neuroticismo" no son sinónimas, pues la primera es un trastorno y la segunda es un rasgo de la personalidad. [...] estos dos términos no son intercambiables, por lo que conviene no identificarlos ni emplearlos de modo indistinto. 2, record 1, Spanish, - neurosis
