Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heather's symptoms match dissociative amnesia, which involves forgetting significant portions of one's life or traumatic events. Fiona's symptoms relate to dissociative identity disorder, which involves the development of distinct subpersonalities, and Gordie's symptoms are consistent with dissociative fugue, which involves sudden travel and memory loss. Dissociative dementia is not a recognized disorder.
