The Diagnosis

Doctors did many tests and finally concluded that Hannah was suffering from dissociative fugue, a very rare condition in which the patient loses all the autobiographical memories and one’s identity. It’s a rare form of amnesia that can even lead the person to get a new identity in worse scenarios. “I went from going for a run to being in the ambulance. It was like 10 minutes had passed. But it was almost three weeks,” told Hannah.
