Was wondering if deporsonalisation and derealisation affects your body, or could be detected in any physical way?

Surely, from the brain, so long as the necessary technology and knowledge (interpretation of data gathered from brain) are in place.

Certain brain areas have been found to be over or underactive in DP (https://www.dpselfhe...motions/page-1#). And skin conductance can be measured to see if emotions are reduced. Hopefully DP will be more understood in the future, and a root cause of these symptoms might be determined, as can be said for many mental disorders.

Are you talking about hypothetical knowledge and technology from the future?

Yep. When certain areas aren't only hypothesized to do something but that we know for sure what's going on, with pinpoint accuracy, assuming we'll ever get there before humanity goes extinct.

I think "machine learning" and massive amounts of health data might accomplish something.
