Hi Ray, if yours was drug induced, you do not need anything to do, it will go away on its own, of course if you did not have previous problems.

Happy that depersonalization is curable even in decades cases, that proves that medicine can treat everything if you have enough money, so there is no illnesses that could not be treatable, hopefully everyone now will understand it.

maybe because this person recovered)

i am not joking, SGB works after some period of time, maybe now this person fully recovered, who knows?

Hi guys

I got depersonalization disorder in summer 2011 when I was 14 years old. I'm 22 now. It was brought on by an anxiety attack after I smoked weed.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27612365

In this study 30 active military service members with combat-related PTSD were offered a stellate ganglion block as part of their treatment program. Patients reported greatest improvement in the first week after SGB for the following symptoms:

irritability or angry outbursts
difficulty concentrating
sleep disturbance

2 to 4 months later, patients reported greatest improvement in the following:

feeling distant or cut off
feeling emotionally numb
irritability or angry outbursts
difficulty concentrating

It is hypothesized that trauma leads to an increase in nerve growth factor in the stellate ganglion. This in turn leads to a sprouting of sympathetic nerves, which increases the production of a number of neurotransmitters, including adrenaline and norepinephrine, which makes people anxious. Stellate ganglion block leads to a reduction in nerve growth factor and sprouting of sympathetic nerves, which helps reverse trauma/anxiety symptoms.

Here is the mechanism explainted in detail:

Here is some other stuff about stellate ganglion block and PTSD:

You got it when you was 14 or 21?

 

[thanksforbeingalive]

When I was 14.

I am a little bit confused.....

Hi guys, here's my story!

Sorry for my English I'm from Switzerland

I got depersonalization disorder when I was around 20 I'm 21 now. It was brought on by an anxiety attack after I smoked weed.
I have spent 8 month living with it. It was the most awful terrifying experience I have ever encounted. I was convinced I was losing my mind, slipping away into an irreversible insanity. I had forgetfulness, memory problems, poor concentration, permanent brain fog and emotional numbness. The only feeling I had was anxiety...

 

[thanksforbeingalive]

In Ray's original post he said he got it when he was 20, but in his recent re-post he said 14. I'm guessing it was just a type-o. It's shame that he edited the op & title of this thread, should've been left as is imho.

noticed this as well

We all have some kind of brain damage and need to restore receptors

 

[thanksforbeingalive]

How do you know this; have you scanned the brains of everyone on here? That's a rhetorical question by the way. Most DP sufferers who have had brain scans done show no brain damage at all, so your conclusion isn't based on any statistical evidence, it seems to be merely assumption.

What about our receptors that just do not work in proper manner?

 

[thanksforbeingalive]

Think you may have misunderstood the poster Auto...Think the poster is talking about chemical problems in our brain..

Brain Damage is a very harsh description though...Chemical Imbalance is my personal belief....Hence medications help so many...And also the reason why therapy fails so many..But those are just my own personal theories...I cannot prove them....

I think if we actually had brain damage we would be dealing with some serious physical as well as mental impairments....

yes i mean chemical imbalance, and maybe NAD therapy can help restore balance.
