A 37-year-old man woke up last year thinking he was 16. He still doesn't remember his wife and daughter

I agree. Barring some physiological issue like a tumour, I read this as a psychotic breakdown manifesting in a suppression of not so much memories - but responsibilities.

In the bad old days - it’d be off to the sanitarium but perhaps with some modern therapy things can slowly return to whatever passes for normal.
