Depersonalization Disorder Research Paper

In modern day society, a lot of discoveries in many fields are being learned of. One of the most recent findings has been of Depersonalization disorder, a disorder that has millions of people entrapped within their own mind.
Depersonalization disorder, which was first known around the 19th century, is a mental disorder that is very unknown of and just now being studied. What this condition does is makes someone feel like a robot, basically making that person feel like they are disconnected from their body and life. “ It’s hard work to function and sometimes people give up”, says Dr. Elaine Hunter. Because it’s just getting identified, only certain information is known. Symptoms that include anxiety, depression and isolation are often confused

with other diagnoses which makes the right identification of the problem hard to detect.
Research that is now being done to find out more of this disorder, indicates that certain variables help this disorder form. In many case studies, variables that have been found include depression, psychological and physical abuse, stress and other factors all can relate to the formation of this disorder.
Even if it's just being uncovered, I think that the determinism of people who have this disorder and want this disorder to be better known and understood is very important. The reason why is because this disorder basically robs someone of their lives, their feelings and makes them feel like they have no control over their life or body. People who are affected, somewhere out there, need to know that they are not alone. They need to know that something is going on and that they are not going crazy. Being able to fit in with the daily life may seem fine and some people can fake real good that life is great, but when you feel like a zombie and don’t care about life… that’s when the feeling of despair and detachment takes over; no one should have to go through that. There is not a real known treatment but with better awareness around and the help of psychologists and other people, we can learn to better understand this disorder and help those who sleepwalk through life because of this condition.
