Dissociative Amnesia; results from a psychological cause as opposed to direct damage to the brain caused by head injury, physical trauma or disease, which is known as organic amnesia. Dissociative Amnesia can include any of the following:
• Source Amnesia; a memory disorder in which someone can recall certain information, but they do not know where or how they obtained the information.
• Childhood Amnesia; the common inability to remember events from one's own childhood.
• Lacunar Amnesia; the loss of memory about one specific event.
• Dissociative Fugue; also known as fugue state. It is caused by psychological trauma and is usually temporary, unresolved and therefore may return. The Merck Manual defines it as "one or more episodes of amnesia in which the inability to recall some or all of one's past and either the loss of one's identity or the formation of a new identity occur with sudden, unexpected, purposeful travel away from home". While popular in fiction, it is extremely rare.
