Woman tells man his DPDR is the most attractive mental health condition
The most attractive mental health condition has been crowned, though most have admitted to never having heard of Depersonalization-derealization disorder (DPDR).
Though nothing particularly new for the human experience, there is still so much we don’t know about mental health. Luckily, new research is coming out constantly like the recent advice from Shanghai that suggested listening to classical music can help with depression.
DPDR is the designated “most attractive” mental health disorder
Though no mental health disorders are hailed as particularly attractive, human attraction is a complicated and often mysterious phenomenon. As such, who is to say someone couldn’t be attracted to specific traits and characteristics born of a mental health disorder?
TikTok user Daburna (@itsdaburna619) recently found this out for himself when a girl told him his DPDR was the most “attractive mental health diagnosis.” Having lived with the condition, he of course disagreed.
“You got me f****d up. It’s weird out here man,” he said.
As reported by the Mayo Clinic, Depersonalization-derealization disorder is a condition that inspires out-of-body feelings and the sense that your surroundings are not real. Of course, feeling like you’re losing your mind is quite distressing.
Though such feelings are actually completely normal human experiences, the disorder itself is sparked by continuous and often constant feelings. DPDR is often caused by past trauma.
Most people had never heard of it
Daburna did not reveal anything further about the interaction, leaving some fans to speculate about what his response was. Considering his dismissal at the end of the video, it probably wasn’t a nice one.
One person claiming to have DPDR said: “DPDR is the scariest thing Ive ever experienced. I always have to be in control so when I lost my aunt and I experienced DPDR I thought I was losing my mind.”
“A therapist tried to give me coping mechanisms for DPDR & 1 was a rubberband on my wrist that I used too much, and my wrist welted,” another said.
A third wrote: “I remember being told I was suffering from DPDR and being so scared that I’d never feel normal again. I’m better now than I was then, but not by much.”
