Iâve been teasing you for a few weeks about the opportunity I had to see Jordan Rubin, author of The Makerâs Diet and survivor of near-fatal Crohnâs Disease, speak in the Grand Rapids area.
Depersonalization Disorder is typically treated through psychotherapy such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , to help change negative and damaging mindsets, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) , to help you gain skills for feeling more connected to yourself and your surroundings.
Depersonalization can actually be its own disorder, or a symptom of depression, drug abuse, and even anxiety drugs. But it's also a very common symptom of severe stress and anxiety, most notably during panic attacks. Take my anxiety test to find out more about your anxiety and how to treat it. Exactly why depersonalization occurs isn't entirely clear.
