Question

Stan tatum was recently identified in florida as missing person david pestro from kentucky. stan denies ever being called david and does not believe that he left behind a wife and three kids. this is an example of dissociative identity disorder dissociative fugue disorganized schizophrenia undifferentiated schizophrenia

Answer 1

The scenario described is most indicative of dissociative fugue, a condition where individuals may travel, forget their past, and assume a new identity, all of which Stan Tatum exhibits.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario described suggests that Stan Tatum might be experiencing a dissociative fugue, which is characterized by unexpected travel away from home or one's customary place of daily activities. Individuals in a dissociative fugue may forget their past, assume a new identity, or be confused about who they are, and they do not remember their fugue state when they recover from it. While there could be an overlapping of symptoms with other disorders, the key feature of assuming a new identity and travel, combined with memory loss about one's previous life, points toward dissociative fugue rather than dissociative identity disorder, disorganized or undifferentiated schizophrenia.

Answer 2

Dissociative fugue is the correct answer! Remember, fugue means an altered state of mind where an individual loses their identity and leaves their location. This would cause Stan to leave his wife and three kids and not remember doing so.
