In which of the following disorders does an individual experience a dreamlike state, in which the person has a sense of being separated both from self and from reality?

  • A.Dissociative identity disorder
  • B.Depersonalisation
  • C.Multiple personality disorder
  • D.Self-loss disorder

Answer: B

Depersonalisation is the experience of a dreamlike state in which the person feels detached from the self and from reality. Dissociative identity disorder, also called multiple personality disorder, involves two or more distinct personalities in one person, so those two options are about split identity and not detachment. 'Self-loss disorder' is not a standard diagnostic name.

In depersonalisation the person feels like an outside observer of his or her own body and mind, while still knowing that the experience is not real.
