Travis Barker’s son, Landon Barker recently admitted that he is struggling with a little-known psychological disorder called ‘derealization’. But what does it mean?
Here is everything you need to know.
Everything we know about derealization
Derealization is a psychological disorder that makes you feel like you are living in a dream world.
According to reports, it affects 2% of the population in the world and 6.4 million people in the United States of America.
Furthermore, few people who suffer from the ailment have said that it makes them feel like robots. While some described it as observing life through a piece of glass. Additionally, others claim that it feels like they are featured in a movie.
An article on the official website of Mayo Clinic read, ‘Depersonalization-derealization disorder occurs when you persistently or repeatedly have the feeling that you are observing yourself from outside your body or you have a sense that things around you aren’t real or both.’
It added, ‘Feelings of depersonalization and derealization can be very disturbing and may feel like you’re living in a dream.’
