When you ask is it dangerous, I'm guessing you mean "Is it gonna make you go crazy?" "Is it physically harming me?" "Is it a progressive organic illness?"

No, no, no.

It's from anxiety. It's from trauma. It's not some brain disease or anything. Take care of the anxiety or w/e is bothering you, (mainly fear) and the DP cannot survive.

That's my theory and I'm stickin' to it.

While DR/DP is sometimes a symptom of psychotic disorders, in the vast vast VAST majority of cases, it's not. So don't worry about that, please.
Is it true that DP/DR occurs after the initial psychotic break? i.e. A vivid hallucination or something like this?
