I think the difference between فقدت and أضعت is :
فقد: I think it means to loose something without being able to do something about it, or not being responsible for it ) (mostly ) ( without being careless and neglecting)
أضاع : means to loose something due to being careless and neglecting )
تهت: means to be lost ( a person)
مفقود/ مفقودة : is " something/ someone" that is lost ( here it could be also a person )
Jeff's correction: you can use تاه also for your mind or brain.. if you say تاه عقلي it means that you strayed( with thought) now when I think about it تاه actually means stray
