Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Millie is experiencing depersonalization-derealization disorder, which is characterized by feeling detached from oneself and one's surroundings. This can include feeling as if one is in a dream or watching oneself from outside the body, as Millie is experiencing. Dissociative identity disorder and dissociative fugue involve more extreme dissociative experiences, such as having multiple distinct identities or suddenly traveling away from one's home and forgetting one's past. Unconscious realization is not a recognized psychological disorder.
