After she was the victim of an attempted carjacking, Annie could remember who she was but she could not remember the carjacking
and could not help the police to identify her attacker. The encounter was so frightening that it was as if Annie's mind just erased it entirely from her memory. Annie will likely be diagnosed with: A) dissociative identity disorder.
B) personality disorder.
C) fugue.
D) amnesia.
Amnesia refers to the loss of memories, such as facts, information and experiences. Though forgetting your identity is a common plot device in movies and television, that's not generally the case in real-life amnesia. Instead, people with amnesia — also called amnestic syndrome — usually know who they are.
