Hi,
I'd like to apologize up front if I am posting in the wrong place, but I don't know the disorder I am about to describe.

A service member returned from combat within the last year after being involved in an IED explosion which killed several in his vehicle. He regained conscientiousness in the hospital in Germany. He is back in the States and is in a wheelchair. He insists that he is a double amputee, missing both legs, one below the knee and one above the knee.

He is not. He has both his legs, and although there was other trauma to his person, he has recovered fully physically. He truly believes that he is missing his legs. According to his doctors, he should be walking fine.

What would you call this disorder?

Thanks.
