What Is a Split Personality?
5. Depersonalization
Depersonalization is described by some patients as though they are having an out of body experience. The patient feels as though instead of being in their body experiencing life as it goes by, they are instead outside of their body, watching in on what is happening to them from afar.
Patients with a split personality will also sometimes experience derealization. This is the sensation that everything around them does not look real to them, even including the people that are around them at the time. The sensation is also sometimes described as though everything is far away, or that everything is foggy.
