With depersonalisation disorder, a person will feel detached from their body or feel their body is not real. They may also experience mild to moderate derealisation and mild identity confusion.
The person may feel like they are observing themselves from outside their body or feel like they are in a dream.
Unlike other dissociation disorders, the person is still in touch with reality and realises that things are not as they appear.
An episode of depersonalisation can last for anything from a few minutes to many years. Depersonalisation may also be a symptom of other disorders, including brain disease and seizure disorders.
Depersonalisation disorder is one of a group of conditions called dissociative disorders. Dissociative disorders are mental illnesses that involve disruptions or breakdowns of memory, consciousness or awareness, identity and/or perception. When one or more of these functions is disrupted, symptoms can result. These symptoms can interfere with a person's general functioning, including social and work activities, and relationships.
What are the symptoms of depersonalisation disorder?
The primary symptom of depersonalisation disorder is a distorted perception of the body. The person might feel like a robot or in a dream. Some people fear they are going crazy and can become depressed, anxious or panicky. For some people, the symptoms are mild and last only for a short time. For others, however, symptoms can be chronic (ongoing) and last or recur for many years, leading to problems with daily functioning or even to disability.
What causes depersonalisation disorder?
Little is known about the causes of depersonalisation disorder, but biological and environmental factors might play a role. Like other dissociative disorders, depersonalisation disorder is often triggered by intense stress or a traumatic event - such as war, abuse, accidents, disasters, or extreme violence - that the person has experienced or witnessed.
How common is depersonalisation disorder?
Depersonalisation is a common symptom of many psychiatric disorders and often occurs in dangerous situations, such as assaults, accidents or serious illnesses.
