Description: Article by Timothy Hain on this syndrome, its causes, diagnosis and treatment.
We recently published a survey study on MDD (Hain et al, 1999). This page is mainly based on that article, with additions as we learn more about the disorder. Mal de Debarquement or "MDD" is a type of vertigo and imbalance that occurs after getting off of a boat. The usual situation is that of a person who has gone on a cruise. Most individuals with this diagnosis are women between the ages of 40 and 50 who go on a 7-day cruise. After getting off the boat, or "debarking" (debarquement), they develop a rocking sensation, as if they are still on the boat. The rocking sensation may persist for months or even years ! Most people seem to have it for a month or less though -- our study largely recruited people with longer duration symptoms (3.5 years was the mean).
