Core diagnostic criteria, specifiers, differential considerations, and documentation support in one open, scan-friendly view.
All criteria are shown. No expand controls or hidden sections.
Core criterion A
Inability to recall important autobiographical information (usually traumatic/stressful) inconsistent with ordinary forgetting; may include dissociative fugue (purposeful travel or bewildered wandering)
Core criterion B
Clinically significant distress or impairment
Core criterion C
Not attributable to physiological effects of a substance or neurological/other medical condition
Core criterion D
Not better explained by DID, PTSD, ASD, somatic symptom disorder, or major/mild NCD
Consistent with [Dissociative Amnesia] [specifier(s)]. Following significant psychological stress or trauma, there have been inability to recall important autobiographical information; memory gaps inconsistent with ordinary forgetting; amnesia focused on distressing or traumatic events; amnesia for personal identity; amnesia for extended periods, forming a pattern characteristic of a dissociative disturbance with abrupt or fluctuating onset. The presentation is further characterised by dissociative blocking affecting episodic memory, with preserved encoding capacity and intact cognitive function in other domains. These symptoms have resulted in clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or interpersonal functioning, and the disturbance is not better explained by substance or medication effects, neurological conditions (including seizures or head injury), dementia, or other psychiatric disorders such as PTSD.
