[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 588796, member: 14557"] What I have read depersonalization and derealisation symptoms can be caused by many different things from sleep deprivation to drugs to epilepsy to different kind of mental health issues. Determining a cause is apparently important for successful treatment. My difficult child has seen neurologist twice during the last year to rule out the physical issues. Some reason his psychiatrist doesn't seem to consider psychotic symptoms to be a real possibility and they have not tried anti-psychotic to treat difficult child. Of course what I have read, anti-psychotic would not be very effective to these symptoms if they are caused by his PTSD. These symptoms don't interfere negatively to him actually playing his sport (those flow experiences there he feels he has more time to see and think the game and there he is so hyper focused he doesn't remember everything from the game clearly afterwards are apparently slightly different) or things like driving. Apparently it is more that he is triggered and then has them and if for example driving, he has time to pull over and compose himself before continuing if the symptoms are overwhelming. And if they are milder depersonalization symptoms that he has more, he can continue functioning with easy and familiar tasks even during them. Conflict situations he says are huge triggers for him and that is when he often has his worst symptoms. Other is during the night if he wakes up from nightmare. Also sensory overwhelm is a trigger for him (so it seems to play also to his old neurological issues.) [/QUOTE]
