What Is Depersonalization?
10. Treatment
As things stand, there is no medication that is known to be able to treat depersonalization. However, the patient may be prescribed medication that will help to treat symptoms caused by the condition, such as anxiety and/or depression. Without suitable medication, treating the conditions will revolve largely around psychotherapy.
A psychotherapist will speak with the patient to try and help them understand more about their condition. They will also be taught the tools they need to be able to recognize their symptoms and to control them. This includes helping the patient to learn skills that will distract them from their symptoms. Psychotherapy sessions may also be required for treating symptoms like depression.
