What are two features that typically distinguish an LSD-induced psychosis and a schizophrenia-type psychosis?

What will be an ideal response?


LSD induces more profound, and typically pleasant, visual-perceptual distortions of the environment, whereas threatening auditory hallucinations superimposed on environment are more common with schizophrenic patients. LSD induces empathy and concerns over interpersonal relationships; schizophrenic patients typically lack empathy and often withdraw from interpersonal relationships. Individuals under LSD are highly suggestible, whereas schizophrenic patients are exceedingly resistant to suggestion.
