One of the most common traits of an individual suffering from dissociative personality disorder is the DISSOCIATIVE FUGUE: epsisodes of suddenly leaving home or place of work without any explanation, traveling to another city, and being unable to remember his or her past or identity. He or she may assume a new identity (Videbeck, pg. 203). Hence the line: "But she only wakes up to find she had been miles away." My nursing school module is currently covering mental health and I've been listening to 6DoiT constantly. I am VERY HAPPY TO REPORT that DT has nailed it with 98% or better in terms of accuracy with regards to the pathophysiology and treatments of some of these illnesses. The "shock treatment" or Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) mentioned in "The TEst That Stumped Them All" is only used nowadays to treat depression and other depressive disorders not treatable by psychopharmacological means. However, it was used prior to the 1950's before Atypical Antipsychotic Medications became available to treat Schizophrenia and other associated disorders. I bring up TTTSTA because it was unclear as to what the "timeline" the individual suffering from Schizophrenia is living in. But the fact that the guy in TTTSTA "thinks" he's a rockstar tends to implicate the present times ('90's to present)? bibliography: Videbeck, S.L. (2008). PSYCHIATRIC-MENTAL HEALTH NURSING 4th ed.
