Skin Deep: The Battle Over Morgellons

An eye opening documentary, "Skin Deep: The Battle Over Morgellons," explores perhaps one of the most mysterious skin diseases, Morgellons. With the skincare industry booming, and a collective eye on the mental health industry, the film is timely and informative. The big debate behind this hard-to-understand disease, Morgellons, is whether it is a physical or psychological syndrome. With a possible link to Lyme disease patients claim their skin to be irritated and many doctors believe that the irritation is actually psychological. "Skin Deep" is interesting and compelling as nurses, doctors, victims and patients chime in presenting research and their own beliefs regarding this rare disease. Who is delusional, the patients experiencing this disease or the doctors that can't find anything to back a skin disease?
