Derealization Vs. Depersonalization: Understanding the Differences

Both depersonalization and derealization can occur at the same time. When this happens over an extended period, this may indicate that someone has depersonalization-derealization disorder (DPDR). DPDR is a dissociative disorder that affects someone’s quality of life and impacts their ability to function in everyday tasks. This condition is relatively equal among both men and women, and it usually starts in either adolescence or early adulthood. The average age of onset is around 16 years old.
