Abstract: Objective To Explore the quality and satisfaction of the life and social function in patients with depersonalization disorder(DPD). Methods The total thirty-eight patients with depersonalization disorder who were diagnosed with the diagnostic criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V), and the Cambridge Depersonalization Scale(CDS) of the patients scored ≥ 70. Forty normal persons were set as the control. All the patients and controls were evaluated with the Global Assessment Function (GAF), the Short-Form Version of the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire(Q-LES-Q-SF) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) to assessed quality and satisfaction of the life and social function. Results Compared to the control group, the total scores of GAF and WHOQOL-BREF in the patients were significantly lower on the quality of the life(PHYS), psychological field (PSYCH), social relations field (SOCIL), environmental field (ENVIR), and the total scores of Q-LES-Q-SF. The score on GAF in DPD was 61.21±5.99, vs 85.88±2.81 in normal group. The score on PHYS in DPD was 11.17±1.87, vs 12.96±1.96 in normal group. The score on PSYCH in DPD was 10.67±1.78, vs 13.33±2.32 in normal group. The score on SOCIL in DPD was 10.53±2.90, vs 14.50±2.64 in normal group. The score on ENVIR in DPD was 12.00±2.61, vs.13.45±2.18 in normal group. The total score on Q-LES-Q-SF in DPD was 39.26±7.93, vs 50.88±8.38 in normal group. The total score of Cambridge Depersonalization Scale was correlated with psychological field, social relationship field, environment field, total quality of life and satisfaction (P<0.05). Compare to simple DPD, the total scores of GAF were lower in DPD with anxiety. The score on GAF in simple DPD was 57.67±5.69 vs 62.85±5.48 in DPD with anxiety(P<0.05). Conclusion The quality and satisfaction of life and social function of DPD was significantly worse than that of normal controls, regarding not only in the physiological aspect but also to the patient's emotional experience, social function and mental health level.
