Manage your Anxiety: Depersonalization and derealization are severe perceptual disturbances that involve a distortion in how one's own body and self feel (depersonalization) and a distortion in how the external world is perceived (derealization). While there are no commonly recognized treatments, medication and psychological approaches are often used in combination.
