Re: What is depersonalization?

[Guest guest]

Depersonalization is a psychiatric term which describes the complete alteration in the perception of self to the point that one's own reality becomes lost, succumbs to a sense of unreality and feels as though he/she has lost total and complete control of his/her own actions or speech.

Occurs in cases of schizophrenia, etc.

Re: [low dose naltrexone] LDN and dissociation

Dear Leila,

My husband suffers from depersonalization. ARe you working with anyone with this disorder with naltrexone. He tried a high dosage of naltrexone but said it was hurting his body. What is your experience? Also he said that he didn't feel like it was helping him. He was working with Dr. Daphne Simeon out of New York City. We are still looking and very interested in what you are seeing.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

this may sound ignorant but the first thing i thought when i read that is he has no minerals in his body or his cholestral is too low. when your brain starts misfiring or you are in a state of confusion- this can be two things to investigate. also, a triple dose of essential fatty acids couldn't do any harm either and may help. however, foremost, LDN may very well help this condition by regulating his system. i'm sure this can be from childhood trauma, ptsd, or a genetic link but wouldn't any kind of neuroprotective supplement be helpful in this condition? kathy
