A person with this disorder will be aware that they have lost a connection with reality, emotions, or both. Those who have continued trauma, abuse, or dysfunction are at a higher risk for Depersonalization Disorder than those in more healthy environments but a history of trauma is not required for development of the disorder.ĭepersonalization Disorder might be mistaken for being flighty or absent minded. It is more prominent in those who have witnessed or sustained some form of trauma.
It is usually not diagnosed in the very young or very old. This disorder occurs most commonly from the teen years and into middle adulthood. Depersonalization can be a protective mechanism but having the disorder can have life altering consequences. When this feeling occurs on a regular basis uncontrollably, there is a possibility that there is a form of dissociative disorder present such as Depersonalization Disorder. When something horrible happens it may feel as though you are in a dream or watching the event happen from outside of your body. The sensation of not being connected to your body or reality for a moment is a defence mechanism of the brain to reduce the amount of emotional trauma experienced in a moment. It is what you might feel when witnessing a horrible car accident or when receiving devastating news. The feeling of depersonalization happens at some point in the lives of most people.
