but dissociative fugue is loosing your identity, finding yourself somewhere and not knowing who you are... at least until DSM-IV; now it's been moved to a Dissociative Amnesia specifier.
I really never heard of dissociative fugue as stendahl syndrome
Calixx
also the reason why treatment providers in spain were classing it as dissociative disorder/dissociative Fugue is because some of the symptoms of stendhal syndrome for some people is having amnesia that can include not remembering they fainted, not remembering getting up and not remembering leaving and going somewhere else., sometimes it can come with dissociative numbness, and other depersonalization/derealization symptoms.
