    Which scenario demonstrates a dissociative fugue?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Extreme anxiety with brief dazed periods describes depersonalization or dissociative episodes, but not a fugue, because identity and travel are not involved. B. Feeling like the body is unreal or shrinking is indicative of depersonalization-derealization disorder, not dissociative fugue. C. Unfamiliar clothes and blackouts without alcohol may suggest dissociative identity disorder, as multiple identities or personality states are involved. D. Dissociative fugue involves sudden, unexpected travel away from one’s home or workplace, inability to recall the past, and confusion about personal identity or assumption of a new identity. The scenario describes disappearance, travel, and memory loss consistent with dissociative fugue.
