home resource directory disorders quizzes ... support forums Depersonalization Disorder SYMPTOMS Persistent or recurrent experiences of feeling detached from, and as if one is an outside observer of, one's mental processes or body (e.g., feeling like one is in a dream). During the depersonalization experience, reality testing remains intact. The depersonalization causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. The depersonalization experience does not occur exclusively during the course of another mental disorder, such as Schizophrenia, Panic Disorder, Acute Stress Disorder, or another Dissociative Disorder, and is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition (e.g., temporal lobe epilepsy). Criteria summarized from: American Psychiatric Association. (1994). Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, fourth edition . Washington, DC: American Psychiatric Association.

home resource directory disorders quizzes ... support forums Advertisement ( Depersonalization disorder Depersonalization Disorder DD ) is a dissociative disorder to which many people can relate. Everyone feels depersonalization periodically for a brief period of time, anywhere from 5 - 30 seconds, in the course of their lifetime. The symptoms include a sense of automation, feeling a disconnection from one's body, and difficulty relating oneself to reality. While an occasional moment of depersonalization is acceptable, a persistent feeling is not. Brief periods are notably engendered by stress, a lack of sleep, or a combination; however, a persistent feeling is not. It becomes a disorder when the dissociation interferes with the social and occupational functions necessary to everyday living. Reality testing will remain intact during an episode of depersonalization, meaning that a person suffering from the disorder will be able to respond to questions and interact with their environment. This fact is distressing for those with DD; the friends and family of the victim don't realise that the dream-like state is not intentional. Psychodynamic psychotherapy and behavioral therapy have been used to treat Depersonalization Disorder, but in most cases the disorder will dissipate on its own.

Strangers to Our Selves When your world seems strange and you've lost your sense of self, you'll be hard pressed finding a name for your affliction. But there is one "Depersonalization Disorder", and it's nothing new. What you don't know at the moment is that this troubling experience is distinctly human, experienced briefly at some time or another by as much as 70 percent of the population. In its chronic form, popular culture once saw it as part of a nervous breakdown. Some have called it "Alice in Wonderland" disease. Jean Paul Sartre called it "the filth" , William James dubbed it "the sick soul". It's been linked philosophically to existentialism, even Buddhism. Yet to its victims, it's anything but an enlightened state of mind. Welcome to the world of Depersonalization Disorder The term itself has been around for a long time. A psychologist named Dugas coined it as a unique medical condition back in 1898. While the word "depersonalization" is often linked to "dehumanizing" situations such as prison life or brainwashing, chronic depersonalization is an insidious mental condition that can begin on its own. The individual's perceptions of the self and the self's place in the world somehow shifts into a mindset that is altered from the norm, becoming hellish for most. Depersonalization, as a symptom, is what the majority of us experience at some time in our lives. It occurs briefly, and has no lasting effect. Depersonalization Disorder, however, is a chronic illness that can take a dreadful and long-lasting course.

Depersonalization From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Derealization In psychiatry depersonalization (or derealization ) is the experience of feelings of loss of a sense of reality . A sufferer feels that they have changed and the world has become less real — it is vague, dreamlike, or lacking in significance. A sufferer is divorced from both the world and from their own identity and physicality. Often times the person who has experienced this disorder claims that life "feels like a movie , things seem unreal, or hazy." Also a recognition of self breaks down (hence the name). When a person suffers from the disorder (or the symptoms associated with the same) he or she finds that when he or she looks in the mirror that his or her face is not familiar though logically he or she is completely aware of his or her identity. An alteration in the perception or experience of one's self, so that the self is felt to be unreal, detached from reality or one's own body or mental processes.

At Health, Inc. Find a Therapist Click here Consumer Disorders and Conditions > Dissociative Disorders advertisement Dissociative Disorders What are dissociative disorders? A dissociative disorder is the breakdown of one’s perception of his/her surroundings, memory, identity, or consciousness. There are four main kinds of dissociative disorders: Dissociative amnesia Dissociative fugue Dissociative identity disorder (previously called multiple personality disorder) Depersonalization disorder What are the main characteristics of each dissociative disorder? Dissociative amnesia: A dissociative amnesia may be present when a person is unable to remember important personal information, which is usually associated with a traumatic event in his/her life. The loss of memory creates gaps in this individual's personal history. Dissociative fugue: A dissociative fugue may be present when a person impulsively wanders or travels away from home and upon arrival in the new location is unable to remember his/her past. The individual's personal identity is lost because that person is confused about who he/she is. The travel from home generally occurs following a stressful event. The person in the fugue appears to be functioning normally to other people. However, after the fugue experience, the individual may not be able to recall what happened during the fugue state. The condition is usually diagnosed when relatives find their lost family member living in another community with a new identity.

BPhoenix Feedback Depersonalization Disorder Dissociative Identity Disorder Depersonalization Personal Stories of Dissociation Dissociation Home Depersonalization is estimated to be the third most common psychiatric symptom, and frequently occurs during life-threatening experiences, such as accidents and assaults. It is also not uncommon for people to experience mild episodes of depersonalization when faced with a stressful situation such as giving a speech or taking an important exam. While some people report these experiences as upsetting, others have said they find them helpful and calming. It is a way for many people to set aside their current anxieties and more effectively deal with the task at hand. Frequent or severe episodes of depersonalization may make the individual feel as though they are going crazy or living in a dream world. The episodes may interfere with one or more areas of the person's life, and may make it difficult to be productive at all. Individuals often find it extremely difficult to describe their symptoms, and may believe the symptoms mean they are psychotic. Reality testing is not impaired during a depersonalization episode, but the fear that they are "going crazy" may make some people reluctant to discuss their symptoms with their doctor and may increase anxiety which in turn can trigger more episodes of depersonalization.
