Recent decades have seen a considerable renaissance of scienti?c interest in the study of human consciousness. For the purposes of descriptive clinical psychopathology, consciousness can be simply de?ned as a state of awareness of the self and the environment. Disorders of consciousness are associated with disorders of perception, attention, attitudes, thinking, registration, and orientation. Consciousness can be changed in three basic ways: it may be dream-like, depressed, or restricted. This chapter outlines these different types of disturbance of consciousness, including delirium, twilight states, and dissociative fugue, among other conditions. The chapter concludes with suggested questions for eliciting specific symptoms in clinical practice, in addition to standard history-taking and mental state examination.
Describes the symptoms of adjustment disorders. Identifies the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and acute stress disorder. Describes the essential nature of dissociative disorders. Discusses the various treatments for the trauma- and stressor-related disorders. Identifies the symptoms of dissociative identity disorder, dissociative amnesia, and depersonalization/derealization disorder. Discusses the treatment of dissociative disorders.
Dissociative fugue is one or more episodes of amnesia. It is a rare condition in which a person suddenly, without planning or warning, travels from home or work and leave behind past life and identity.The aim is to present a patient with such disorder.

Sleep-related dissociative disorders, a variant of dissociative disorders, are parasomnias that can emerge at any point during sleep period, either at transition from wakefulness to sleep or within several minutes after awakening from stages 1 or 2 non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep or REM sleep. Patient's clinical features may support a specific dissociative disorder subtype diagnosis associated with sleep-related episodes, specifically dissociative identity disorder, dissociative fugue, or dissociative disorder NOS. With any form of sleep-related dissociative disorder, onset can be gradual and sporadic in nature. Females are reported to be affected predominantly, and onset can range from childhood to midlife. Sexualized and frankly sexual behaviors can emerge with sleep-related dissociative disorders. There are several potential considerations for differential diagnosis of sleep-related dissociative disorders, including an NREM arousal disorder parasomnia, parasomnia associated with REM sleep, or nocturnal seizures.
