Summary : "Everything feels unreal to me, like a dream...I feel detached, like a stranger to myself." These are quotes from actual people, experiencing something they don't understand. What they are saying is being heard by friends, families, and physicians today more than ever before. They do not simply suffer from anxiety, or depression, and they are not schizophrenic. They have found themselves trapped in a very real and singular disorder, yet few even know its name. Their enigmatic state of mind has been studied for more than 100 years, but only recently has it become clear how prevalent and how distinctive it really is. The condition is called Depersonalization Disorder, and Feeling Unreal is the first book to reveal what it's all about. This important volume explores not only Depersonalization, but the philosophical and literary implications of selflessness as well, while providing the latest research, possible treatments, and ways to live and thrive when life seems "unreal." For those who still believe that such experiences are merely part of something else, that depersonalization is just a symptom and not a disorder in its own right, Feeling Unreal presents compelling evidence to the contrary. This book provides long-awaited answers for people suffering from Depersonalization Disorder and their loved ones, for mental health professionals, and for all students of the condition, while serving as a wake up call to the medical community at large.

Summary : As a neuroscientist who has successfully completely overcome chronic depersonalization and derealization (DPDR), I am driven to teach every last sufferer a). what this 'disorder' really is and b). how to cure it in a matter of days and ensure that you never relapse.Regardless of how dissociated and lost you currently feel, you are as real, safe and alive as you were when you were a curious child. What's more, I am going to teach you how to make these feelings vanish. There is nothing intractable about dissociative anxiety; when you are ready to launch yourself towards recovery and fight against the illusion, it disappears - it simply can no longer be sustained when you are truly committed to living in the real world.

Genre : Self-Help
Summary : Generalized anxiety, post-traumatic stress or existential thoughts can lead the brain to enter a "defensive" mode of consciousness far from reality where the perception of the self and the perception of the world result noticeably altered. The author makes an autobiographical journey of his history as a consequence of this disorder to describe the main symptoms of Depersonalization (DP) and Desrealization (DR) and presents a hypothesis about its nature based on a relative disconnection between rational and emotional hemispheres. The most frequent causes leading to Depersonalization (alteration of the self) and to Derealization (alteration of the perception of the world) are reviewed and the method of Santos Barrios (c) is presented as a natural treatment to return the individual to normality. The indiscriminate use of new technologies (smartphones, tablets, PCs, videogames, social networks, streaming on demand, ...) causes people avoid more and more the contact with the physical and emotional reality of the environment. This fact together with anxiety, the rush of everyday life, the concern for an uncertain future and the possible consumption of drugs constitute an explosive cocktail that is making an appearance of cases of distancing from reality.

Summary : READY TO FEEL LIKE YOUR NORMAL SELF AGAIN? Depersonalization & derealization are the third most common mental health symptoms next to anxiety & depression. Millions suffer from it, yet it is virtually unstudied in medicine. Why? There are a couple theories. Mostly I think it's because it mimics the same symptoms of anxiety & depression, and often DP/DR accompanies anxiety & depression. They seem to all be interconnected in some way. Anxiety & depression get much more research put into them because they are way more frequently seen, but the problem is that DP/DR are both very, very hard to effectively describe to someone who has not experienced it. -From Stop Unreality Stop Unreality can help you to understand the inner-workings of depersonalization & derealization, along with battling against anxiety & depression. It is a guide directly taken from a sufferer of these conditions, and it utilizes tools that will help you toward a potential speedy recovery. From theories to therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness techniques, Stop Unreality can help put an end to feelings of unreality, and help you to live a better life with the condition.
