First of all I am asking if anyone knows about DP (Depersonalization Disorder)? To let you know that I have not been formally diagnosed with either of the two (inattentive ADD or DP), but from research that i have done ,seems to me that I have both. I am trying not to to be a hypocondriac about this. but feel like i am going insane. I cant seem to get a Dr. that knows. I figured that more heads with knowledge are better with one that is shakey i really didnt know where to go so i came here. I would appreciate any info if you have any, to help the swirling mind,

I am curious to know what is leading you to think you have DP.

My advise would be to talk to a psychologist. Or maybe I should ask first what type of doctor did you go to? I would be surprised if a GP would know much about this.


Does the DP come about after a stressful event or just at random? I've had depersonalization and derealization while suffering from PTSD and after a stressful event. Its actually a natural response after a stressful event- think of a deer froze in its tracks staring into the headlights. You are not going crazy-- a psychologist could help set you at ease and maybe find out whats going on.

If you aren't getting help please keep trying. Don't be discouraged because the first person wasn't any help.
