Can the disintegration of personality be cured?

It is difficult to treat this disease. Supportive psychotherapy is necessary; Explain to patients that this kind of disease is a functional disorder and will not have serious consequences; Strengthening self exercise and strengthening physique can help to alleviate the disease and reduce the tension and anxiety of patients. Morita therapy and hypnotherapy can also be tried.

In addition to benzodiazepines or tricyclic drugs for anxiety and depression, clozapine is effective in some cases and can be tried. The treatment methods of insular coma, electroconvulsive therapy, continuous anesthesia, ether inhalation to induce excitement to produce mental catharsis, etc. have been used in the treatment of this disease, but they have no obvious effect, so they should not be used.

As a symptom, depersonalization can be seen in many mental diseases, especially in depression, hysteria, hypochondria and so on. One patient with depression accurately described his symptoms of depersonalization after his illness: since the onset of the disease, I have not only low mood, low self-esteem, the idea of remorse and hopelessness about the future, but also a symptom that I can't bear, that is, there is always a sense of separation between myself and others and things outside. For example, I watch the sunrise and flowers as if I were in a dream, I have a dream like feeling when dealing with people. I really doubt whether I am still alive.

matters needing attention

There are many people in the normal population who have experienced this kind of experience, especially those poets and novelists who are fond of fantasy. They often "fall into a fog". Moreover, many people have recorded this kind of experience and become masterpieces handed down from generation to generation. Paul Sartre, an existentialist philosopher and litterateur, once wrote a novel called nausea, which describes in detail and vividly the feeling of the loss of "my" personality. The "I" in the book has lost the personality of independent existence, and has been replaced by its "double", even breathing, writing and other every move no longer belongs to itself, but for the existence of the "double", I am deeply distressed. Obviously, in Sartre's works, this kind of depersonalization (Sartre called "nonexistence") is a kind of painful psychological experience.
