Sounds like an adjustment disorder to me.(only2 months)*
She not in the age group for separation anxiety
Doesnt have multiple complaints for somatization
She knows her identity-fugue
The only one that is close is conversion (she had a stressor but its been 2 months and Id think of more neurological impairment)
