The nature of the symptoms of depersonalization will mean the patient will need to speak with an expert on the matter. The patient will often undergo tests to determine if there are any other health problems present. This can include a physical examination and laboratory tests, as well as questions about their lifestyle.
A specialist may then perform a full psychiatric examination on the patient. They will need to ask you about your behavior and your thoughts and they may be looking for signs of other mental health issues as well as depersonalization. Once a diagnosis is reached, the experts can then devise a treatment plan for you.
