What Is Depersonalization?
2. Causes
Depersonalization is a condition that is not well understood. However, it is thought that certain genetic factors might increase somebody’s risk of developing it. Environmental factors are also likely to be another cause for the condition. Those with the condition are more likely to have experienced severe trauma in the past.
This may mean something like being abused as a child, or maybe being involved in a severe accident. What’s more is that patients with the condition are more likely to experience the symptoms when they are undergoing stress. Research is still underway to help professionals to understand it better to help them treat it more effectively.
