The Bizarre "Morgellon's
Disease," Psychosis, and
Exaggeration

If you are like most people, you have
probably never heard of “Morgellon’s
disease” or “Morgellons.” The first
reason you have likely never heard if
it is because it is so bizarre and
uncommon. Most of what is known
about it is based on rare case
reports or anecdotal stories. The
second reason is because it is not
recognized in the medical community
as a legitimate medical disease. It is
a layperson’s term coined by a
child’s mother (see end of entry).
