title: [The validity of Freud's concepts of neurosis in present diagnosis systems].
abstract: Anxiety as a symptom, syndrome and diagnosis is discussed, as well as its overlapping with the concept of neuroses. The original concepts of neuroses, neurasthenia and psychasthenia that have been coined since the eighteenth century are revised, as well as its evolution from Freud to DSM IV and ICD 10.
