Depersonalization means feeling disconnected from oneself, including one's thoughts, feelings, or body. Some people call depersonalization an out-of-body experience.
Where does depersonalization come from
Depersonalization syndrome, which consists of a violation of self-perception, is not an independent disorder, but most often indicates the presence of a serious mental illness in a person.
For example, schizophrenia, depression or panic disorder.
What is the difference between derealization and depersonalization
Depersonalization is a violation of self-awareness, which is characterized by a feeling of change in one’s own personality, a feeling of unreality in one’s surroundings.
Derealization is a feeling of the unreality of the world around you.
Symptoms of depersonalization-derealization syndrome
A feeling of altered mental processes is a feeling that the information entering the brain, as it were, “encounters a kind of internal barrier and cannot be assimilated in full,” in other words, there is a feeling of impaired perception of information.
Is it possible to cure Depersonalization
Patients with depersonalization/derealization often improve without intervention.
Full recovery is possible, especially if symptoms were caused by treatable or short-term stress or were not prolonged.
