How Can Depersonalization Disorder Be Treated?
Has anyone ever been cured of Depersonalization? I seem to be a typical case. I was about 16-17 years of age. I woke up from a nap in the middle of the afternoon to find my mind feeling very different. Yes, I had a bit of a life threatening childhood. I am 72 years old and have suffered mentally for many years.
