Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dissociative fugue is the dissociative disorder in which an individual forgets their identity and flees to a new location. Dissociative amnesia involves memory loss, but not necessarily regarding one's identity. Dissociative identity disorder involves the development of different personalities, and the inability to recall vital information about one's life is more characteristic of dissociative amnesia than dissociative identity disorder.
