although the focus of this question is not specific... The term mental generally has to do with psychological functioning (or things pertaining to cognitions and brain activity), whereas physiological pertains to things that have to do with the physical body. One twist on this is that "physiological" can refer to specific activities of the brain, such as neurons firing, or other chemical activities of the brain.

What is the difference between neuroses and psychoses and how can demographic variables such as race social class and gender affect diagnosis and labeling of same?

My lay explanation of the difference is: A psychosis prevents a person from reasoning and functioning normally and has a physiological origin. A neurosis allows a person to be able to reason and function in society. It origins are in learned mental processes rather than physiological. Neurosis is a term that's fallen out of favor in recent years. In an ideal world race, social class and gender should not be a factor in diagnosis of mental disorders.

In CT what is the difference between not guilty by reason of insanity vs not guilty by reason of mental defect or mental illness?

I believe they are the same thing, except for political correctness. The wording was changed from "insanity" to "mental defect or disease." I imagine it was an effort to treat inmates with mental illness with more dignity as well as to reduce the stigmas associated with the "insane."
