10 Tips to Help you Deal with Depersonalisation

10. SEEK TREATMENT

Last but absolutely not least. While this tip may seem obvious, it is the event that is most likely to propel you on a road to recovery. It can be very difficult, but will be worth it in the long run. Treatment options can vary from seeing a therapist to antidepressants to TMS. Do some research so that when you consult a specialist the discussion will feel more two-sided. Also, as training is often thin on the ground among GPs regarding DPD, if you feel you may be suffering it is often worth asking to see a specialist straight away to be tested. Finally, try not to be discouraged if the first attempted treatment course does not work, recovery is a process.

As I mentioned earlier, everyone will experience symptoms of DPD slightly differently. However anything that can help you to feel more present is likely to improve your wellbeing. For more information on DPD and other dissociative disorders, go here.
