Should not be associated with substance use or neurological condition and has to be severe. Localized amnesia- patient cannot recall anything from a specific period of time. Selective amnesia- loss of memory from some but not all events from a specific period of time. Generalized amnesia- patients cannot recall any events from their lives, who they are, etc. Continuous amnesia- patients forget each new event as it occurs. Systemized amnesia- loss of information about a certain category (e. g. sexual abuse, particular person) Short lived reversible amnesia for personal information, like unplanned traveling. Often a new identity is taken at the time of the fugue and it is usually more extroversive than the original one.
