Answer 2

Answer:

Dissociative

Explanation:

Dissociative amnesia is diagnosed only when the loss of memory is the result of a specific stressful event. For example, soldiers who have experienced combat and survivors of abuse, kidnapping, or natural disasters have reported losing hours or days from their memories. In rare cases, they lose all memories of the traumatic event.
