1. depersonalization

   Depersonalization is a type of dissociative disorder that consists of persistent or recurrent feelings of being detached, as if one is an outside observer of their own thoughts, sensations, actions, or body. It can also involve experiencing a sense of unreality or unfamiliarity with oneself or parts of oneself, or with one's environment. This condition often occurs along with other mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. It can be a symptom of several medical and psychiatric illnesses, or it can occur after experiencing a traumatic event.

1. Depersonalization

   Depersonalization is an anomaly of self-awareness. It consists of a feeling of watching oneself act, while having no control over a situation. Subjects feel they have changed, and the world has become vague, dreamlike, less real, or lacking in significance. It can be a disturbing experience, since many feel that, indeed, they are living in a "dream". Chronic depersonalization refers to depersonalization disorder, which is classified by the DSM-IV as a dissociative disorder. Though degrees of depersonalization and derealization can happen to anyone who is subject to temporary anxiety/stress, chronic depersonalization is more related to individuals who have experienced a severe trauma or prolonged stress/anxiety. Depersonalization-derealization is the single most important symptom in the spectrum of dissociative disorders, including dissociative identity disorder and "dissociative disorder not otherwise specified". It is also a prominent symptom in some other non-dissociative disorders, such as anxiety disorders, clinical depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, migraine and sleep deprivation. It can be considered desirable, such as in the use of recreational drugs.
