Depersonalization disorder involves feeling disconnected from one's own body and thoughts, but does not involve memory loss. Dissociative fugue involves a sudden and unexpected travel away from one's usual environment with an inability to recall one's past. Continuous amnesia refers to ongoing memory loss. Dissociative identity disorder is characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality states. Therefore, depersonalization disorder is the most likely specific disorder in this case presentation.
