diagnosis of Panic Disorder.

a panic attack, particularly as the severity increases. As such, Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder

social situations as in Social Anxiety Disorder.
-Specific Phobia: Depersonalization/derealization is one of the symptoms that may occur during a panic
attack, particularly as the severity increases. As such, Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder should
not be diagnosed when the symptoms only occur during panic attacks associated with the fear of an
object or situation as in Specific Phobia.
