Emotional Intelligence, Daily. Start now: https://www.theschooloflife.com/subscription/ We hear the terms "neurotic" and "psychotic" used casually in daily conversation, often to describe someone’s behavior or mood. But beyond the stigma, what do these clinical terms actually tell us about the human mind? Both indicate a state of mental pain, but the distinction between them is profound and lies in our relationship with reality and our own suffering. In this film, we clear up the confusion, explaining the core psychological differences between these two states to help us better understand our own minds and the experiences of others.
