That simply isn't true. The label of “Morgellans syndrome” was made up by a woman (with no medical/psychological training of any type) who objected to being called delusional. Instead of seeking the psychological help she needed she made up a name for her nonexistent disease and created a online support group. Getting a group of delusional people together doesn't suddenly make all of their hypochondria real.

Lots of folks with compromised immune systems also have mental conditions that are the result of poor nutrition, large peptides in the blood, and overgrowth of flora throughout the body. That is, the brain is often the first organ affected by these underlying causal conditions. The skin is the largest organ, and it too is affected by all of the above conditions. Therefore, if some victims of Durus Syndrome also have a mental condition, it is not surprising, as they are not mutually exclusive, in fact, they are to some degree correlated. Now you may take the position that mentally deficient people do not deserve the same level of concern or care as those of sound mind, and I think you will find yourself in the company of Hitler and Margaret Sangar. Jesus heals on both levels in Mark 9, which is an indication that physiological and psychological abnormalities can share a high degree of correlation. There seem to be many “normal” people with Durus Syndrome, as if normality must be present before thorough research is conducted. I find the desire to shut the door on this mystery by political forces emanating from vested interests in GMO experimentation, disturbing. My brief search on this subject, which was covered fairly extensively several years ago by medical journals and the media, found that a lot of the information about the connection between GMO plant DNA, bacteria, and human tissue has been scrubbed from the Internet. Bayer and Monsanto have billions of reasons to suppress any negative results from their manipulation of nature
