Pathogenesis of Neuroses and Modern Solutions to Clinical Diagnostic Methods

Abstract

The concept of "neurosis" was first introduced into the medical literature in 1776 by the Scottish physician William Cullen. He called it "a disorder of feelings and actions, not due to local damage to an organ, but to a general suffering on which all actions depend." From this definition it follows that by neurosis Cullen meant damage to the nervous system. Hence the name of the disease: neurosis (neurosis) - from the Greek word neuron, meaning "nerve". Neurosis is one of the leading mental disorders in terms of frequency. It is reversible, that is, you can fully recover. However, not all patients are able to receive appropriate treatment in a timely manner. This is due to the fear of people to seek specialized help from a psychotherapist or psychiatrist.
