nonpsychotic

Not severely disturbed

Nonpsychotic describes mental states or conditions that don't involve psychosis—the loss of contact with reality characterized by delusions or hallucinations.

Depression and anxiety are nonpsychotic disorders.

The term appears mainly in clinical contexts to distinguish conditions that, however distressing, leave the person's grasp of reality intact: nonpsychotic depression, nonpsychotic symptoms.
