Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Dissociative amnesia with fugue involves not only a loss of memory but also physical flight or wandering, often accompanied by an adoption of a new identity or location. The other options do not accurately describe this condition. Mania and depression are mood states not typically associated with dissociative amnesia, substance abuse may be a factor but is not a defining characteristic, and psychosis involves a loss of touch with reality rather than memory loss and physical escape.
