Depersonalization disorder is a psychiatric disorder often occurring in mental trauma. The patient has a distorted perception of their body and life. Patients feel like living in a dream. Usually these symptoms are short-lived and often associated with anxiety and panic symptoms. However sometimes symptoms can become chronic and last for many years. Depersonalization disorder may interfere with interpersonal relationships, your work and other daily activities. Generally it does not need treatment. Only when symptoms persist or cause pain to the patients, you need professional treatment. A variety of psychological treatment is effective for some patients, but not all patients. Tranquilizers and antidepressants can help some patients.
