Essay

Marcus appears completely normal on the outside. He is well-dressed, clean, and seems upbeat and happy. However, Marcus has periods of time where he is confused about who he is. He will travel thousands of miles away from home and when asked to present his driver's license (such as when checking into a hotel), he seems confused about whose ID he has. In several instances, he has argued that he must have picked up the wrong wallet because the driver's license is not his. What disorder does Marcus likely have? Explain your answer.
