Tolerance means that an increased amount of the drug is needed to achieve the same effect as before. Dependence can be physical or psychological. Dependence is referring to a need for the drug in order to function normally. Someone that is dependent on a drug likely has a high tolerance for the drug. However, someone can have a high tolerance for the drug and not go through withdrawals or have other negative effects when the drug is not used anymore.
Tolerance to a drug (so that higher and higher amounts are needed in order to obtain the same initial effect) and dependence - both are part of the physical addiction. Psychological addiction does not involve physical tolerance and dependence, but can be difficult to treat, unless there is motivation to kick the habit.
You can not be psychologically dependent on a drug. Dependence is a medical term form for a person who physically withdraws when they stop the use of a drug.

Yes, those are both types of addiction. Physical addiction is when the body gets used to the drug and you have to have it for the body to function normally. That is why alcoholics have to go to detox centers. But they still have a psychological dependence, and if they stop treatment at that point, they will likely start using again and get the physical dependence back. So they then have to treat the psychological urges to use the substance and the underlying causes.

LSD has very little to no chance of producing psychological dependence. Nearly all psychedelics are resistant to psychological dependence due to the nature of the experience (i.e you would be greatly aware of any compulsive or addictive behavior and would stop). LSD has in fact been used to treat other drug dependencies such as alcoholism.
