Dissociative disorder2. Dementia3. Dissociative amnesia with fuge4. Bipolar

Answer 1

The correct option is 3,dissociative amnesia with fuge

Step-by-step explanation:

Dissociative amnesia is one health condition that makes one forgets vital information about one's life.

However, when fuge is added to dissociative amnesia it assumes a different dimension that causes one to relocate to entirely different village,town,state or country and sometimes even assuming a new identity.

This fits Mr Jones' situation perfectly in that he has forgotten his past about being a businessman and even relocated to another state coupled with assuming a new profession with no commensurate educational background.

Answer 2

Dissociative Fugue

Step-by-step explanation:

Dissociative Fugue is a situation whereby an individual cannot recall a part or all of his past. It is a form of dissociative Amnesia. It is caused by extreme psychological trauma as opposed to a physical trauma, illness or other medical conditions. It is commonly found in people who experiences dissociative identity disorder. Since Mr Jones said he could not remember any information, he is said to be most likely suffering from dissociative amnesia with fugue.
