Nearly all people with this illness report extreme difficulty with mental concentration and short term memory. Mood disorders, such as depression and Bipolar Disorder, are extremely common in this group of patients, affecting well over half of all individuals reporting symptoms of Morgellons Disease. Parents of children with Morgellons disease report that the majority of these children have ADHD, ODD, mood disorders, or autism. It is estimated that 65% of these children have some form of psychiatric illness, and 10% have an autism spectrum disorder. > ---

> We refer to this infectious disease as “Morgellons Disease”, due to the need for a consistent label when contacting politicians and health departments. So it’s not recognized as a disease huh? I thought I saw this on like Dateline or something, and they pretty much concluded it was a psychological condition. Fibromyalgia part 2? ---

^Good point. It must have been something else. I just remember something about all these patients claiming that there is some new disease going around causing itchy/creepy/crawly sensations and lobbying for action or something like that and all the doctors saying that there is no real evidence of a condition and it is psychological or something. :gotme: ---
