The easy distinction is that a psychosis totally interrupts, even controls your life.While a neurosis may be a problem, but doesn't keep you from functioning more or less normally in most areas.

Psychosis is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state involving the loss of contact with reality, causing the detioration of normal social functioning. while Neurosis is a general term referring to mental distress that, unlike psychosis, does not prevent rational thought or daily functioning

A neurotic disorder can be any mental imbalance that causes or results in distress. In general, neurotic conditions do not impair or interfere with normal day to day functions, but rather create the very common symptoms of depression, anxiety, or stress. It is believed that most people suffer from some sort of neurosis as a part of human nature.

Psychosis is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state involving the loss of contact with reality, causing the detioration of normal social functioning.
