title: [Anxiety, depression, stress in "depersonalization" and "derealization"].
abstract: We quote the terms "depersonalization" and "derealization" though meaningless in an absolute sens, and feel it is suitable to define them as: "The diminishing of the feeling of significance experiences (vivencia) of the ego and of the reality". Theme of the communication: twofold: Remember a frequent omission--with important exceptions--is a lack of focus on the terrible pathos which acquires a certain intensity this syndrome. I have working in this direction since 1960 and specifically since 1988 with a total of 3.592 patients affective and obsessive-compulsive, from which I selected 242, with "depersonalization" and "derealization" syndromes. 60 of them clinically severe. As assessed by the clinical phenomenological method. The observation time varied from three months and aigth and half years. "Under the auspices of egodistonia with a correct judgement of reality" in following areas: Environmentally (speak of "symptom of Tantalus"...). In the diminishing of sense of body. The patient involuntary memory. In the area of thought. In the area of the perception of time. Independent of those other stress situation which are known to a accompany the appearance of the syndrome of the "depersonalization" and "derealization" we think that this may produce at times symptoms of post-traumatic stress.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
