Answers
Answer:
Dissociative fugue (/fjuːɡ/), formerly called a fugue state or psychogenic fugue,[1] is a mental and behavioral disorder[2] that is classified variously as a dissociative disorder,[1] a conversion disorder,[2] and a somatic symptom disorder. The disorder is a rare psychiatric abnormality characterized by reversible amnesia for one's own personal identity, including the memories, personality, and other identifying characteristics of individuality. The state can last days, months or longer. Dissociative fugue usually involves unplanned travel or wandering and is sometimes accompanied by the establishment of a new identity. It is a facet of dissociative amnesia, according to the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).
