GF:
①名 一种忧郁的气质,常处于悲观状态,但智力较高,观察较敏锐。
② 形指人的神经系统的感觉过于敏锐,情感易于冲动,是一种病态表现。
这个人极端神经质。

Editor: it's the reverse, GF says "neurosis (or depression)" and "nervous" (名/形).
However other sources do not much concur (Z, M, NC) .
神经症 is neurosis.
神经质 on Wp redirects to 焦虑症! (related to anxiety at least)
GT and J do suggest "neurotic" (in the usual, non-medical sense).

Usage is, it seems, adjectival.
Diff:
- 神經質 神经质 [shen2 jing1 zhi4] /nervousness/
# + 神經質 神经质 [shen2 jing1 zhi4] /nervousness/neurotic/
+ 神經質 神经质 [shen2 jing1 zhi4] /nervous/on edge/excitable/neurotic/
