Available Medication General Practitioners and Psychiatrists often use drugs to help treat many mental illnesses. The symptoms of deprsonalisation are sometimes relieved using anti-depressants. There is no magic cure for 'feeling unreal' as yet, but if the main cause of Depersonalisation is Anxiety or Depression these drugs can be very helpful.
Several researchers cite some success with medications in the treatment of derealisation.
Cognitive Therapy A therapy where thoughts are shown to effect how we feel and behave. Negative thoughts which lead to anxiety or depression, which may feature derpersonalisation, are recognised and then replaced with more realistic or positive thoughts. This kind of treatment is usually supported with various relaxation techniques, and may be combined with some form of behaviour therapy. A therapy where negative experiences early in life, which later cause irrational behaviour in broadly similar situations later in life, are challenged. Conditions where depersonalisation is triggered by a specific circumstance or situation may be helped in this way.
