Investigating Experiences of Depersonalisation and Derealisation

This study is looking to recruit candidates aged 18-30 to participate in an online study about your symptoms of depersonalisation and/or derealisation. For more information, please email lead researcher Evelyn Dilkes.

The study is an exploration of the different factors associated with states of depersonalisation and derealisation in young adults (aged 18-30 years). We are interested in the thinking styles and early life experiences that accompany such experiences, as well as what types of stimuli and environments trigger depersonalisation and derealisation. Additionally, we are interested in environments and stimuli that have a positive effect on depersonalisation and derealisation severity.
