In this video I discuss three ways to define neurotic.
1. Using the five-factor OCEAN model developed by Lewis Goldberg
2. Using the concept of neurosis developed by Sigmund Freud
3. Using personality organization construct developed by Otto Kernberg.

The OCEAN model is the most common. O is for openness, E is for extroversion/introversion, A is for agreeableness, and N is for neuroticism. All of these factors are measured on a spectrum.

If you are highly neurotic, you are very prone to negative emotional states such as depression, anxiety and anger. In this case, it becomes important to prioritize your self-care and optimize your coping skills.
