Reality testing (present in neurosis absent in psychosis) and level of functioning (higher in neurosis lower in psychosis) were meant to be the main differences.
Though the distinction doesn't appear in the DSM.
I think... Because it was thought to be not very useful...
Though it is still a distinction that is employed by some clinicians.
