Differences between continuous variables were tested with a one-way ANOVA, and differences in dichotomous variables with Chi-square tests. Significance was set at P < 0.05. Significant differences are indicated by an asterisk (*). Current hallucinations means experiences in the last month. The current hallucinations in the SCZ-H were based on the P3 > 2 PANSS, and in NC-H with the frequency item of the PSYRATS. Number of cases with missing data: Diagnosis n = 1 SCZ-H; Antipsychotics n = 10 HC; n = 5 SCZ-H; n = 3 BD-H; n = 1 BD. Lithium n = 10 HC; n = 6 SCZ-H. Antidepressants; n = 10 HC; n = 16 SCZ-H; Lifetime hallucinations n = 4 HC; Auditory n = 4 HC; n = 11 SCZ-H; n = 2 BD-H. Visual n = 5 HC; n = 15 SCZ-H. Olfactory n = 5 HC; n = 17 SCZ-H. Tactile n = 5 HC; n = 14 SCZ-H. Current hallucinations: SCZ-H = 23. Lifetime delusions; n = 5 HC; n = 3 NC-H; n = 21 SCZ-H.

NC-H non-clinical individuals with hallucinations, NOS not otherwise specified, BD-H bipolar-I disorder with lifetime history of hallucinations, BD bipolar-I disorder without lifetime history of hallucinations, SCZ-H schizophrenia spectrum disorder with hallucinations.
