What is depersonalization disorder? It’s very hard to me. I can’t explain why I need information about this disease. It’s urgent. Please tell me what you know about this disorder. Does Depersonalization have something common with depression?

Hi! You must accept disease as something that can happen to anyone. Depersonalization disorder, an emotional disorder in which there is a loss of the feeling of personal identity (depersonalization). Everything becomes dreamlike. The body may not feel like one's own, and important events may be watched with detachment. It is common in some forms of schizophrenia and in severe depression.

Don't listen to what the last person said, yes it is a side lined symptom of Schitzophrenia and deep depression but if you have DP/DR it does NOT I repeat NOT mean that you have or that you're going to get Schitzophrenia. People say that to scare people, or they're having those thoughts themselves and push it onto others.

It is curable, so don't worry. There is a small percentage of people who don't recover but please don't think that's going to be you. I felt like I was going to be in that 1 percent that don't recover but it's part of the anxiety that causes your DP in the first place.

Do yoga, meditate, don't drink coffee, EXERCISE!!! It helps you get back in contact with your body and your surroundings. See a counsellor, they'll help you find the root cause of your problem and help you fix it. Medication must be a final resort as it can make you worse ( but it can also make you better, it's a lottery ) and gives you a higher chance of experiencing DP/DR in the future.

Relax and stop thinking about it, that is the best way to combat it. If you think "I don't care, right, it's part of my life, I'll just get on with my day" ...it'll most likely become a lot more tollerable and go away. TAKE ST JOHN'S WORT! Two pills a day, it's organic and it may help you. It helped me a bit with my symptoms.

Hope this helps xx
