Contrast dissociative amnesia and dissociative fugue

What will be an ideal response?


Dissociative fugue is a disturbance marked by suddenly and unexpectedly traveling away from one's home or place of work and being unable to recall one's past. The person may not remember his or her identity or may be confused about his or her new assumed identity.

Dissociative amnesia is characterized by the inability to recall important personal information or events and is usually associated with stressful or traumatic events. The importance or extent of the information forgotten is too great to be explained by normal forgetfulness.
