General practitioners are not expertly trained in psychology. It's important to speak with a psychologist about this issue rather than someone with only a moderate understanding of mental health.
Those who have schizophrenia may adopt feelings of depersonalization, but they may also adopt depression and anxiety. While there may be connections between these illnesses, this doesn't mean that you have psychosis.
In order for you to be diagnosed with psychosis, you would have needed to met a criteria. This includes persistent and severe hallucinations or delusions, as well as catatonia.
The most likely thing is that your depersonalization is disconnected from any serious illness like psychosis.
