The depersonalisation in severe depression culminates in the so-called nihilistic delusions or the Cotard-Syndrome, formerly aptly called „melancholia anaesthetica“.

This makes them conclude that they have already died and ought to be buried. They may even deny their own existence or the existence of the world.
