I am researching the idea of Solipsism and have come upon the Depersonalization aspect of it in mental illness. My question is: how does one tell the difference between believing it philosophically and feeling it mentally?

I have at times felt this way, long before I even acquired an interest in philosophy. I've researched the link between depression and anxiety, and am experiencing both; I've had a hard time determining the cause of my current feelings of detachment.

Hopefully there are some doctors onboard.
