Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Everything feels unreal to me, like a dream...I feel detached, like a stranger to myself." These are quotes from actual people, experiencing something they don't understand. What they are saying is being heard by friends, families, and physicians today more than ever before. They do not simply suffer from anxiety, or depression, and they are not schizophrenic. They have found themselves trapped in a very real and singular disorder, yet few even know its name. Their enigmatic state of mind has been studied for more than 100 years, but only recently has it become clear how prevalent and how distinctive it really is. The condition is called Depersonalization Disorder, and Feeling Unreal is the first book to reveal what it's all about. This important volume explores not only Depersonalization, but the philosophical and literary implications of selflessness as well, while providing the latest research, possible treatments, and ways to live and thrive when life seems "unreal." For those who still believe that such experiences are merely part of something else, that depersonalization is just a symptom and not a disorder in its own right, Feeling Unreal presents compelling evidence to the contrary. This book provides long-awaited answers for people suffering from Depersonalization Disorder and their loved ones, for mental health professionals, and for all students of the condition, while serving as a wake up call to the medical community at large.

This book was released on 2018-10 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generalized anxiety, post-traumatic stress or existential thoughts can lead the brain to enter a "defensive" mode of consciousness far from reality where the perception of the self and the perception of the world result noticeably altered. The author makes an autobiographical journey of his history as a consequence of this disorder to describe the main symptoms of Depersonalization (DP) and Desrealization (DR) and presents a hypothesis about its nature based on a relative disconnection between rational and emotional hemispheres. The most frequent causes leading to Depersonalization (alteration of the self) and to Derealization (alteration of the perception of the world) are reviewed and the method of Santos Barrios (c) is presented as a natural treatment to return the individual to normality. The indiscriminate use of new technologies (smartphones, tablets, PCs, videogames, social networks, streaming on demand, ...) causes people avoid more and more the contact with the physical and emotional reality of the environment. This fact together with anxiety, the rush of everyday life, the concern for an uncertain future and the possible consumption of drugs constitute an explosive cocktail that is making an appearance of cases of distancing from reality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you have depersonalization disorder, nothing seems real. You may feel detached from reality, even from your own thoughts, as though you are going through the motions of living without ever being truly connected to your experiences. Whether your depersonalization developed after a traumatic experience or is something you've always lived with, this book can help you reconnect with life again. Overcoming Depersonalization Disorder can help you diagnose the type and degree of your depersonalization disorder, come to understand why it developed, and cope with your symptoms using practical skills drawn from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). Ready to feel real again? Put the practical skills in this book to work in your life right now and start reintegrating yourself back into the world and reconnecting to your own vibrant thoughts and feelings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depersonalization is a dissociative disorder, causing alteration in the perception or experience of the self and a detachment from reality. This is a fascinating and clinically relevant phenomenon neglected within psychiatry. Far from being a rare condition, it can be as prevalent as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder and frequently occurs in association with other neuropsychiatric conditions. This book is a review of depersonalization, dealing with the subject from a wide range of perspectives and covering historical, conceptual, clinical, trans-cultural, pharmacological and neurobiological factors. It discusses recent neuroimaging studies providing fresh insights into the condition and opening up new opportunities to manage the symptoms with pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic interventions. It will be relevant to psychiatrists and clinical psychologists, as well as primary care practitioners, neurologists and psychiatric nurses.
