To the Editor: Dissociative fugue is a subtype of dissociative amnesia. Per the DSM-5, dissociative amnesia with dissociative fugue is the "purposeful travel or bewildered wandering that is associated with amnesia for identity or for other important autobiographical information." As the name fugue implies, the condition involves psychological flight from an overwhelming situation.
