Question

who is likely to be suffering from dissociative fugue?

a. alice, who seems to have several distinct personalities
in one she speaks french, and in another she can play
the piano.

b. martin, who hears voices telling him to do things.

c. mary, who was found wandering around a shopping
mall in denver but has no idea who she is or how she
got there.

d. jabbar, who has sudden panic attacks and doesnt
know why.

Explanation:

Dissociative fugue involves sudden, unexpected travel and amnesia regarding one’s identity or how one got there. Mary’s situation (wandering with identity/route amnesia) matches this. Alice’s case is dissociative identity disorder (multiple personalities), Martin’s is likely hallucinations (psychotic symptom), and Jabbar’s is panic attacks (anxiety - related), not fugue.

Answer:

C. Mary, who was found wandering around a shopping mall in Denver but has no idea who she is or how she got there.
