Fugue episodes are a dissociative disorder characterized by sudden and unexpected travel away from home or work, with an inability to recall one's past and confusion about personal identity. This flight response is a way of escaping from intolerable anxiety, often caused by traumatic events or extreme stressors. The individual may seem to be in a trance-like state or have a different personality or identity during the episode.
