In reply to depression and psychosis, posted by Dave1 on July 18, 2001, at 14:27:32
I think like several other posters commented you are having feelings of derealization and depersonalization (both dissociative states) and fairly common in panic and anxiety disorders which can be comorbid with depression. Having experienced both frequently (my pdoc does not consider it a psychotic state- he saves delusions and hallucinations for APs) For this he uses benzos to lessen my anxiety which in turn lessens some of my symptoms. Unfortunately I have a pretty severe dissociative disorder which requires intensive psychotherapy. Hope some of this helps- judy
