Dissociative
amnesia has several distinct patterns it may follow, including:
- Generalized amnesia,
wherein an individual may fail to remember anything
- Localized/selective
amnesia, often in which traumatic events are unable to be recalled
- Dissociative fugue:
while in "fugue", or a disturbed state of consciousness,
individuals find themselves in new and different places with no memory as
to how they got there. Fugues may last for only a few hours, but may
stretch on for months. Post-fugue, the person may assume a new identity,
or become confused about their past identity.
How is dissociative fugue exactly different from dissociative identity disorder?
ReplyDeleteAlthough this is triggered by traumatic events, could this be passed on to genetics?
