Hi'
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.
The symptoms, which you have mentioned, are more towards depersonalization and derealization (DPDR). That may be due to depression, anxiety disorder or any organic cause. In that case, first get yourself properly evaluated by MRI scan to rule out any underline brain dysfunction. If it come normal, then you need some antidepressant like fluoxetine or mood stabilizer like lamotrigine. These drugs have very good effect in controlling these symptoms. You can also do some relaxation exercise that would keep you relax and help to control these symptoms. Rest, you can consult with your doctor.
In case, you need further help, you can ask.
