Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25) produces a wide range of alterations in psychological functioning, including disturbances in ego functions, drive manifestations, and other psychopathology. These changes affect autonomic functioning, motor functioning, mood, conation, cognition, and sensorium, as well as thought, speech, affect, perception, and behavior. The alterations have been compared to disturbances seen in schizophrenic syndromes and conditions of altered consciousness such as sleep deprivation, hypnosis, and sensory isolation, sparking detailed exploration of the drug's effects.
