From the Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, copyright 1961 (my dad got it for christmas one year as a child):

psychosis (n): Mental disease; any serious mental derangement; - a purely psychiatric term without the legal implications of the word insanity

sycosis (n): A chronic inflammatory disease involving the hair follicles, marked by papules, pustules, and crusts

Have a nice day.
