What Is Depersonalization?
7. Risk Factors
As mentioned, we don’t understand depersonalization well, including the exact causes of it. We do know however that certain people are more likely to develop the condition than others are. This tends to mean people that have experienced extreme physical or emotional trauma in the past.
People that have suffered abuse when young are in a high-risk category, as are people that are undergoing financial stress. Problems with relationships are also a potential problem. People that have certain personality types are also more likely to develop depersonalization. In addition, the symptoms can also be triggered by the use of certain recreational drugs.
