Depersonalization & Derealization Child Psychiatrists near Vilas, North Carolina
Depersonalization and derealization can arise in moments of extreme emotional reaction, as a result of a past traumatic experience or because it is a learned coping mechanism to protect from painful experiences. Depersonalization or derealization may look like feeling completely disconnected from one’s body or thoughts, as if they’re watching a movie without any agency to change the script.
