Talk:Derealization

I do not like this sentence: "Familiar places may look alien, bizarre, and surreal." While those who have the problem diagnosed know what that means, I worry it may cause confusion. Basically, I think it might confuse people into thinking derealization is something of a hallucination. I think it would be very good to point out that theres no true change. That while everything has the same visual properties, its interpretation is what becomes alien.

A way to emphasize that people in that state dont see things that arent there, basically. Sorry, I know its a really poor description. Thats why I was hoping for some input, hopefully from soneone better able to turn thoughts into writing than I am. 74.132.249.206 (talk) 05:44, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

I just noticed the section above this one is dealing with the same issue. As such, this should be considerd an addendum to the above. My apologies for not noticing sooner. I have an excuse but its rather lame and obvious and would sound like a bad joke. 74.132.249.206 (talk) 05:46, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
