WebMaster eMail Arrived Through Search? front door Arrived Through Webring? Dissociation and Dissociative Disorders Dissociation can be summed up with the word disconnection. The disconnection can be mental, emotional, or physical and it can be a separation from feelings, current experiences, past experiences, actions, and so on. The disconnection can be partial or complete, therefore, most professionals believe that dissociation exists on a continuum ranging from normal and mild, as in daydreaming, to abnormal and extreme, as in multiplicity. At the most extreme end of that continuum, disconnecting from the self or circumstances can help one survive an actual or perceivably unlivable situation and/or get in the way of their ability to function in day-to-day life. Dissociative Disorders Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality) Dissociative Amnesia Dissociative Fugue Depersonalization Disorder ... Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified There is no medication for dissociation, although some symptoms of dissociation can be successfully reduced or eliminated by various medications if deemed necessary, prescribed, and monitored by a qualified professional. There is much debate about preferred methods of treatment for the dissociative disorders themselves (especially Dissociative Identity Disorder) within the professional community. Most professionals seem to agree, however, that the ultimate goal of treatment for dissociatives whose levels of disconnection fall outside the realm of normalcy is to greatly reduce their tendencies to dissociate.

Advertising Information Dissociative Disorders Dissociative Disorders are characterized by a disturbance in the previously cohesive and unified functions of identity, memory, consciousness, and/or perception of the environment. Four types of Dissociative Disorders are recognized. Dissociative Amnesia is a pervasive loss of memory of significant personal information. Dissociative Fugue is a sudden, unplanned excursion away from ones planned itinerary accompanied by either memory loss; or confusion about, loss of, or assumption of a new identity. Dissociative Identity Disorder was formerly called Multiple Personality Disorder. It is evidenced by two or more separate personalities or identities that control a persons consciousness at different times, with each being amnesic of the other/s. Depersonalization Disorder is evidenced by the sense of being separated from ones cognition's or body without an accompanying breakdown in reality testing.

How can I get rid of depersonalization and derealization? What is depersonalization? Depersonalization is a change in an individuals self-awareness, during anxiety disorder, such that they feel detached from their own experiences, with the self, the body and mind seeming alien or distant. Although incredibly disturbing to experience depersonalization is quite harmless, it just feels dreadful. It is caused by a shift of perception in the part of the brain that provides us with awareness of our environment an disappears after anxiety levels have been reduced back down to a 'normal' level. Anxiety disorder is the primary cause of these symptoms.

Understanding the Dissociative Disorders UNDERSTANDING THE DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS © Marlene Steinberg, M.D., 2003 Introduction Dissociation is a common defense/reaction to stressful or traumatic situations. Severe isolated traumas or repeated traumas may result in a person developing a dissociative disorder. A dissociative disorder impairs the normal state of awareness and limits or alters one's sense of identity, memory or consciousness. Once considered rare, recent research indicated that individuals with dissociative disorders are frequently misdiagnosed for many years, delaying effective treatment. What kind of events or experiences are likely to cause symptoms of dissociation? There are various types of traumas. There are traumas within one's home, either emotional, physical or sexual abuse. Other types of traumas include natural disasters, such as earthquakes, political traumas such as holocausts, hostage situations, wars, random acts of violence (such as the Oklahoma city bombing and the Columbine shootings), or the grief we feel after the death of a family member or loved one. In recent years, there has been an increase in scientific research on the diagnosis and treatment of dissociative disorders. New screening tools such as the Dissociative Experience Scale and diagnostic tools such as the

Question about depersonalization and drugs May, 1997 Q. What drugs have you found to be most effective in treating depersonalization disorder? I have tried SSRIs, antidepressants and other medications as well. I have had this for three years straight as a result of stress, anxiety and panic disorder. A. Depersonalization disorder, in brief, involves the persistent or recurrent experience of feeling detached from, and as if one is an outside observer of, one's mental processes or body. Individuals with DD often report feeling as if in a waking dream or a movie and may also experience derealization (the sense that the external world is unreal or strange). DD is not a psychotic condition, though individuals with DD often worry about this. Unfortunately, there is very little rigorously designed research on the pharmacologic treatment of depersonalization disorder (DD). However, I would first like to suggest that the diagnosis of DD is in serious doubt, if you experience depersonalization only in the context of actual panic attacks or panic disorder (PD), since depersonalization/derealization is one feature of PD. Indeed, DD by itself is quite rare. Usually, PD is also accompanied by other bodily sensations, such as rapid heart rate, dizziness, sweating, tingling, choking sensation, as well as a fear of going crazy or having a heart attack. If you experience depersonalization solely in the context of such attacks, then it is the PD that needs treatment. Since you have tried SSRIs and antidepressants, it may be time to consider alternative medications and approaches for PD; e.g., trial on an MAOI (a special type of antidepressant), Serzone or Depakote. Klonopin may also be helpful for PD. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is also very helpful for panic disorder, if done by someone with special training in CBT.

Welcome to the Click Here to proceed directly to the Depersonalization Homepage Click Here to view the Depersonalization Board Archives Depersonalization is both a symptom and an illness. It was first described by Ludovic Dugas, a French Psychiatrist writing at the turn of the century. It occurs in almost all the major psychiatric disorders including severe anxiety, panic disorder, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessional compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, as well as neurological conditions such as migraine and epilepsy. Normal peoples can experience it during states of fatigue, fear or meditation, or after ingestion of drugs such as cannabis and 'Ecstasy'. It can also exist, rarely, in a pure form: 'Primary Depersonalisation'. According to the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic , 'Depersonalization Disorder' is characterised by persistent or recurrent episodes of: "... detachment or estrangement from one's self. The individual may feel like an automaton... There may be the sensation of being an outside observer on one's own mental processes... Various types of sensory anaesthesia, lack of affective response... are often present". Derealization (the sense that the external world is strange or unreal) may also be present. Many sufferers describe it as 'terrifying', 'like losing your sense of being alive', 'a living death', 'like being detached from your own body, your loved ones, your feelings...' People say that it is as if their mind is full of cotton wool; they pray that they will wake up and it will all be clear once more. Many describe de-realization: as if the world around them is like a movie or that they are separated from other people by an invisible pane of glass. When such unpleasant feelings persist without explanation, the person may be judged to be suffering from depersonalization disorder. It can be brought on by severe stress or emotional turmoil but may also appear out of the blue, and apparently suddenly.
