Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The condition described in which someone forgets their identity and takes on a new identity in a new location is known as dissociative fugue. Dissociative amnesia involves forgetting important personal information, not necessarily taking on a new identity. Catatonic schizophrenia and paranoid schizophrenia are both subtypes of schizophrenia and do not relate to this condition.
