Susan's case fits the criteria for a dissociative fugue, which is a type of dissociative disorder characterized by sudden, unexpected travel away from home, and the inability to recall one's past life or identity. This is distinct from depersonalization and derealization, which involve feelings of detachment from the self or surroundings, and apraxic state, which may refer to difficulty performing voluntary movements due to neurological disorders.
