Depersonalisation-derealisation disorder (DDD): assessment and treatment

Meeting your first patient with depersonalisation-derealisation disorder (DDD) may be challenging if you lack confidence in knowing how to diagnose this condition and what evidence-based treatments to offer.

This module will give you a brief, but comprehensive, overview from both a consultant psychiatrist and clinical psychologist who have extensive experience working with DDD.

The module includes information on common presentations, comorbidity and the main triggers for onset, as well as guidance on how to assess and diagnose DDD. Learners will also be given an overview of the main treatments and a stepped care guide to implementing these.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of this module, you should understand:

• assess symptoms of DDD to enable diagnosis
• understand the typical presentation of people with the condition
• describe the current evidence base for treatments for DDD
• implement a stepped care approach to treating people with DDD.
