I do not believe that depersonalization and derealization are much caused by hyper-individualism in the modern world. To feel depersonalized is to feel disassociated from and alienated from the self. This estrangement has two causes. First, traditional grouped cultured humanity is breaking up and has been for a century so future shock sets in, and nonindividuated feel depersonalized and estranged from the self. And as groupism dies, the rise of individualism is a challenge for them going from nonindividuating to individuating, depersonalizationand future shock will result.
The person may feel detached from himself and almost outside of himself 3rd person watching himself. Panic and anxiety and emotional numbness may be his.
