What Is Depersonalization?
4. Emotional Numbness
Patients suffering from depersonalization will often feel as though they have a physical and/or emotional numbness to everything around them. They can feel as though their memories are not their own memories at all, and that they have no emotional attachment to those memories.
Patients will also often feel as though they don’t have control over their own movements or speech, and some will complain that they feel almost robotic. These symptoms can make it very difficult for the patient to live life, and can lead to other, potentially severe, mental health problems that will only add to the patient’s suffering further.
