Suffering From Symptoms Of Morgellons Disease, Spreading Through The Body, Took Zoloft. Could It Just Be Delusional Parasitosis ?

I have been suffering from symptoms of Morgellons disease for more than 7 years. I've been to 6 dermatologists and they just tell me it's delusional parasitosis. They don't even bother to examine my skin or the debris that comes out of it. It is spreading through my body and I am very depressed. I already take Zoloft. I need someone to take me seriously.

Hi
thanks for writing here.

Morgellons disease is a synonym for delusional parasitosis.

It is a condition where a patient has a firm but false belief that he has insects crawling all over bodies.Pateint shows lot of debris and other material as parasites.

It has psychic association and you need to consult a psychiatrist rather than a dermatologist.He will help you in much better way.

Hope this can solve your query.Take care.
