Re: Depersonalisation and derealisation: assessment and management
Although there may be other reasons for someone to present with depersonalisation and/or derealisation, depression is a serious possibility and should not be forgotten; it is probably a good idea to check and to always ask (gently) whether your patient is suffering with suicidal thoughts.
