> Is a Fugue State different from Dissociative Identity Disorder, or just a more extreme form of it?
I think Dissociative Identity Disorder is what used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder. I'm no expert, but I don't think the two are related in any significant way. From what I have read, the person in a Fugue state doesn't become another personality, just doesn't remember a period of time. People with MPD or DID as they are now calling it, don't remember periods of time, but develop into a different personality, Fugues don't. Again, I'm not sure on this, just my 2 cents!
