Solution

The correct option is B Psychosis
Neurosis is a class of functional mental disorders involving distress but neither delusions nor hallucinations.
Psychosis is the abnormal condition of the mind describing as involving a 'loss of contact with reality'. The psychosis became the modern equivalent of the old notion of madness.
Epilepsy is the brain disorder that causes people to have recurring seizures.
Thus, the correct answer is the option (B), 'Psychosis'.
