We were pleased to see Unreal mentioned in this Guardian article on depersonalisation. While we haven’t yet read the book, it’s great to see more personal experiences being shared and DPDR getting national attention. https://t.co/P73uHGPvTt

@unrealcharity @royalsociety Joe was amazing! Lots of people from my lab said the lived experience panel was a true highlight for them, so thank you for being there and bringing that much needed voice with such clarity

Thank you @DrSFink for inviting Unreal to the @royalsociety meeting “From being to identity: analysis and synthesis of the self”. It was a privilege for our own Joe Perkins to speak on the lived experience perspective of DPDR and hear the fascinating speakers! #SelfRS2025

Thanks to everyone who joined our @royalsociety meeting on the Sense of Self in-person or online. We had a fantastic event with great talks and discussions. Look out for our Phil Trans B theme issue coming early next year @A_Wykowska @DrSFink @PaulVerschure

@unrealcharity There are so many great blog posts on #depersonalisation and #derealisation on your website. Inspiring and thought-provoking reading. https://t.co/VFbhvRSWck

My experience of depersonalisation-derealisation disorder (DPDR) and recovery.... Thanks to @unrealcharity for this opportunity to summarise! https://t.co/Zxq2NgZZEI

Congratulations @ECernis @AntonovicMilan @RoyaKamvar, Joe Perkins and the LEAP!

The objective of this scoping review was to look at the prevalence of DPDR alongside anxiety, depression and psychosis to see what research already exists and the correlations between these conditions in order to identify and inform future possible avenues of study.

(13/14) Your stories and struggles have not remained unheard.”

(12/14) “The authors would like to warmly thank everyone at Unreal for their contribution and support throughout the realization of this research and all participants for sharing their lived experiences, despite the difficulty in doing so:

(11/14) Importantly, the researchers ensured that the experiences, thoughts and opinions of those those with DPDR were central in this body of work, which is reflected in their heartfelt acknowledgement:

(10/14) We found the results also to be quite validating, in that they confirm that DPDR significantly affects individuals’ ability to adapt and cope with life challenges.

(9/14) potentially by helping those affected by the condition to find forms of social bonding that foster acceptance and emotional support.

(8/14) The paper suggests that counselling and psychotherapy could be used to target feelings of loneliness and social isolation that were found to be significantly higher in those with DPDR,

(7/14) may be key to understanding more about the condition and, perhaps in future, this information could be used to inform potential interventions as well as improve the timing and accuracy of assessment & diagnosis.
