Delusional parasitosis is a form of psychosis

In the classification system of the Diagnostic and statistical manual
of mental disorders (DSM-IV), primary delusional parasitosis
corresponds to "delusional disorder, somatic type", while the
secondary organic type corresponds to "psychotic disorder due to
general medical condition".

That quackery is outdated by the CDC's removal of their "Delusional
Parasitosis" page:

They only removed if from the list of parasitic diseases. It is now
properly classified under Delusional Disorders, Somatic Type.
Isn't that nice that it is no longer classified under parasitic
diseases?
