Marcus is demonstrating symptoms of binge-eating disorder, as he consumes a large amount of food over an extended period and subsequently feels guilty about his behavior. However, he does not exhibit symptoms of bulimia nervosa, as he does not purge or engage in excessive exercise to compensate for his binge eating. He also does not meet the criteria for dissociative identity disorder or antisocial personality disorder, as there is no indication of any disruption of identity or disregard for others' rights or feelings.
