I dont think it is that simple or black and white

mental illnesses and disorders often overlap with each other

you can experience psychosis without being a schizophrenic . and that dp/dr cant kick you into psychosis is in MY opinion not correct . dp/dr doesnt kick you into psychosis itself but since dp/dr creates extreme stress I think it is very possible to become psychotic if you are vulnerable towards it because some people like me are more prone to become psychotic than others when there is extreme stress on their minds

I was also freaking out from the thought of going psychotic . but at anybody reading this and freaking out that he/she will go psychotic : you dont need to be scared . it is treatable . it is not the end of the world . I wish I didnt freak out back then

This is a great post. My son has been diagnosed with Schizophrenia and when he first started experiencing symptoms I had to go pick him up from school numerous times until I had to withdrawal him because he was certain that the people was planning to blow him up and had planted a bomb in his back pack. The last time was the worst and He was hiding in the counselors office till I got there. I took him straight to the doctor and they hospitalized him. I couldn't take him anywhere in the beginning cause he was certain "people" were following us and plotting against us. Obviously things escalated but that was how it started with him.

I would just like to point out, and further what someone else said, that dp/dr are symptoms of schizophrenia, particularly when in its early stages. This is well documented. They are prodromal symptoms. Some argue that depersonalization is central to schizophrenic pathology, and that it resembles a “prepsychotic” state. Then it goes away as the psychosis becomes more prevalent. Also schizophrenia is a large spectrum, not just paranoia. In the olden days there was a type of schizophrenia called pseudoneurotic schizophrenia, characterized by “pan-anxiety” and dp/dr. Sounds a lot like 3/4 of the members in this forum. And it was technically classified as a schizophrenia and was chronic, nonremitting, and sometimes developed into overt schizophrenia.

Not sure why you're bugging out at me, I'm just sharing knowledge I've gathered. Some studies have shown that large proportions of patients with depersonalization disorder also experience Schneider's first rank symptoms, questioning the boundaries of these diagnostic categories anyway. Saying that depersonalization is a distinct entity unrelated to any other psychopathology is misinformation. It is not always "just a simple reaction to anxiety". It is a manifestation of severe ego-loss and accompanies very severe psychiatric disorders. Yes, sometimes someone just experiences a traumatic event and then acutely develops depersonalization, but that's far from always being the case. Pseudoneurotic schizophrenia was a category of schizophrenia, whereby the main symptoms were severe chronic neurosis anxiety symptoms, but the "basic symptoms" of schizophrenia were also present (autism, ambivalence, loosening of associations, and disturbances in affect). Stop trolling me just because you're bored.

I see you are very angry, I meant no harm. I’m not sure what you are saying, are you saying you have schizophrenia DID and Asperger mixed? If so I’m sorry to hear that. I still don’t understand what you’re getting so mad about. I’ve also unfortunately spent a very large amount of my life browsing pubmed and the likes.

no i dont have any of the mentioned illnesses. but you said it is related to very severe psychiatric disorders so i supposed i should have those three illnesses.

you join here and your very first contribution is „dp is more than depersonalization disorder“ or „it accompanies very severe psychiatric disorders.“ do you actually know what it can do to recently diagnosed people who are scared the death to become psychotic?
