Dissociative Disorder

Explanation:

Dissociative Disorder, also known as conversion disorder, is a mental disorder in which the person suffers from a psychological imbalance, with alterations in consciousness, memory, identity, emotion, perception of the environment, movement control and behavior. A common symptom of this disorder is the non-recognition of family members, as well as a loss of memory of things that were done on a daily basis.

Miguel is showing this kind of symptom so there is a chance that he is suffering from dissociative disorder.
