ICD-11 Criteria for Dissociative Amnesia (6B61)
Dissociative amnesia is
characterised by an inability to recall important autobiographical memories,
typically of recent traumatic or stressful events, that is inconsistent with
ordinary forgetting. The amnesia does not occur exclusively during another dissociative
disorder and is not better explained by another mental, behavioural or
neurodevelopmental disorder. The amnesia is not due to the direct effects of a
substance or medication on the central nervous system, including withdrawal
effects, and is not due to a disease of the nervous system or to head trauma.
The amnesia results in significant impairment in personal, family, social,
educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning.

fugue is characterised by all of the features of Dissociative Amnesia,
accompanied by dissociative fugue, i.e., a loss of a sense of personal identity
and sudden travel away from home, work, or significant others for an extended
period of time (days or weeks). A new identity may be assumed.
Exclusions:
- Postictal fugue in epilepsy (BlockL1‑8A6)
6B61.1 Dissociative amnesia without dissociative fugue
