> Depersonalization/derealization is in classified in the Dissociative dissorder spectrum which includes 5 or so sub catagories (I have psch degree). Dissociative Disorder at its peak may result in multiple personality(s) (sybil). The primary cause of all in the spectrum is trauma (sexual,emotianal) at an early age. Genetics also play a role in who is susceptible or who can survive the worst of trauma. Many teens become depersonalised through smoking pot and some never recover. It can become a lifelong chronic condition treated by meds and most importantly psychotherapy. There are other triggers that may induce this horribel condition. Then worst thing for it is any alchohol or street drugs. Here is a link that explains it in more detail http://dpselfhelp.com/
> Some people have episodic bouts with it and it is hell. It is rarely properly diagnosed. SSRIs are can be fatal (suicide). Mount Sanai hospital in New York is the most informed. You may contact them directly. Where do you live? A tharapist trained in dissociative disorder is the best and they know the meds that work. Clonazapam seems to be the best. Those I have encountered with this condition seek opiates which makes them feel real. That is the real path to hell.
