It's an interesting idea. I can only respond that during my little episode, I was doing the right things: walking in the right direction, using my head-torch, crossing rivers without falling in or getting any wetter. I'd much rather have stopped for a cup of coffee and a bit of chocolate before yomping on down the path, but that wasn't a dangerous issue.
I doubt if we'll ever have any epidemiology on the risk/benefit ratio of depersonalization, but if it eliminated a lot of young people from the gene pool during survival situations, one wonders why it's still around.
