> Morgellons (/mɔːrˈɡɛlənz/) is the informal name of a self-diagnosed, scientifically unsubstantiated skin condition in which individuals have sores that they believe contain fibrous material.[1][2] Morgellons is not well understood, but the general medical consensus is that it is a form of delusional parasitosis,[3] on the psychiatric spectrum.[4]

Your family member... mistakenly believed that he had a psychiatric condition involving a mistaken belief?

No, he believed he had Technicolor skin parasites. Suggesting it might be a psychiatric condition was a good way to start a nasty fight.

I’ve observed people in this “community” from a distance.

Does your family member have the sores?
