What are the symptoms of depersonalization disorder?

The main symptom of depersonalization/derealization disorder is feeling disconnected. You may feel:

• Disconnected from your thoughts, feelings and body (depersonalization).
• Disconnected from your surroundings or environment (derealization).
• Robot-like.
• As if you’re observing yourself from outside your body.
• As if you’re living in a dream world.
• Depressed, anxious, panicky or like you’re going crazy.

Some people experience mild, short-lived symptoms. Others have chronic (ongoing) symptoms that may last for years. The symptoms may interfere with your ability to function. They may even lead to a disability.
