Depersonalization disorder is relatively common, affecting approximately 2% of the population. It is characterized by feelings of detachment or estrangement from oneself, one's body, or one's surroundings. It is not caused by physiological abnormalities such as brain damage, and it does not typically involve total loss of memory of one's past.
