Derealization Caused By Dysautonomia

Download our Dysautonomia Protocol Roadmap: https://keiserclinic.com/roadmap/ If you feel like you're floating outside your body, like reality isn't quite real, or like your head isn't connected to the rest of you, that symptom has a name and a mechanism. And it's probably not getting the attention it deserves. In this video, I break down derealization and depersonalization in dysautonomia, why these symptoms get pushed aside once the focus shifts to heart rate management, and what they actually tell us about what's happening in the brain. The key distinction is whether the problem is in the neurons themselves or in the blood flow feeding them, because that changes everything about how we approach it. I also explain how PPPD (persistent postural-perceptual dizziness) connects to the same processing areas, why a clean vestibular exam doesn't rule out the problem, and how we use tilt testing with transcranial Doppler to isolate where the breakdown is actually happening. 00:00 The symptoms that get ignored after a POTS diagnosis 01:10 What derealization and depersonalization actually are 02:11 Which sensory inputs make it worse 02:46 Neurons and blood flow 05:58 Where the vestibular gets involved 06:56 PPPD: the cousin diagnosis 09:45 How we test for PPD 11:42 Treatment for PPD and Derealization 📍 The Keiser Clinic in Chelsea, Michigan People travel from across the country and around the world to seek care at the Keiser Clinic, where we approach complex autonomic conditions at the source, rather than masking symptoms.
