Well, it's important to remember that we do dwell inside human bodies, and as such are wired to experience all kinds of physical responses to the way our brains interpret a stimulus...depersonalization is one of those physical responses, and there are physical explanations for why it happens. I find it helpful to remember that.
Of course, it can also be a symptom of a more serious psychological illness, and if you are experiencing accompanying symptoms like hallucinations or psychotic episodes than you need to see a doctor who can treat your condition with the meds that are currently available.
