(a)depersonalization symptoms, i.e. the individual feels that his or her own feelings and/or experiences
are detached, distant, not his or her own, lost, etc;

(b)derealization symptoms, i.e. objects, people, and/or surroundings seem unreal, distant, artificial,
colourless, lifeless, etc;

(c)an acceptance that this is a subjective and spontaneous change, not imposed by outside forces or
other people (i.e. insight);

(d)a clear sensorium and absence of toxic confusional state or epilepsy

ICD 10
CYCLOTHYMIA ICD 10

A persistent instability of mood, involving numerous periods of mild depression and mild

elation. This instability usually develops early in adult life and pursues a chronic

course, although at times the mood may be normal and stable for months at a time.

The mood swings are usually perceived by the individual as being unrelated to life

events. The diagnosis is difficult to establish without a prolonged period of

observation or an unusually good account of the individual's past behaviour.

Because the mood swings are relatively mild and the periods of mood elevation may

be enjoyable, cyclothymia frequently fails to come to medical attention. In some

cases this may be because the mood change, although present, is less prominent than

cyclical changes in activity, self-confidence, sociability, or appetitive behaviour. If

required, age of onset may be specified as early (in late teenage or the twenties) or

late.
