What are the consequences of suffering dissociative fugue without receiving treatment?
A dissociative fugue is an episode where a person flees their current life and has no memory of their past. This is usually associated with an extreme emotional stressor and is most likely a protective mechanism to avoid the stressor. It is usually self-limited and the person often begins to remember their former life gradually. If it lasts long enough, however, a person may actually create a new identity for him- or herself and begin a new life elsewhere. I would imagine the main consequences would be loss of income, loss of the individual's support system (although people who suffer from dissociative disorders frequently do not have very good support systems in the first place), and anything else that might go along with being in a strange place with no memory of who you are.
