EDITORS COMMENTS
This thought-provoking artwork from Science Photo Library captures the haunting reality of delusional parasitosis, a condition that plagues individuals with an unshakable belief of being infested by invisible parasites beneath their skin. The conceptual illustration portrays a man's face covered in large bugs and parasites, symbolizing the torment experienced by those suffering from this disorder. Delusional parasitosis, also known as Eckbom's syndrome, can be triggered by drug abuse and often leads to self-harm through excessive scratching. The emotional state depicted in this artwork reflects the pain, itching, and psychological distress endured by these individuals. Psychiatrists treat this mental illness using antipsychotic drugs to alleviate hallucinations and manage psychosis. However, the fear and worry associated with delusions persistently haunt those affected. The composite image evokes a sense of unease as it explores the concept of feeling invaded by creepy crawlies within one's own body. It serves as a reminder of how our minds can deceive us into perceiving things that are not truly there. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured both the physical manifestation and emotional turmoil caused by delusional parasitosis through this computer artwork. It stands as a testament to their commitment to visually communicate complex scientific concepts while shedding light on lesser-known conditions that affect human psychology.
