invisible bugs all over her body, she needs help!!!!

hi, im desperate for help!!!!! my mom has been feeling a crawling sensation and bites all over her body since june 2012. its been 3 months.this has completly changed our lives.my mom continues to suffer every day, its so stressfull for everyone. we moved out of our house because we had a problem with birds in out attic and we thought that it may have been bird mites that got on my mom and wont leave. so we thought that mabe if we moved out she could just focus on getting rid of the ones on her body instead of getting reinfessted by the mites in the house so we are now staying with my grandmother( which totals 8 people living in one house) My mom especially felt the bites on  her scalp, so she had me shave her head, she thought that without the hair there, the bugs would have less to hide in. we have tried alot of things like tea tree oil, sulfer creams, lindane. we went to a dermalolgist here in scranton and she was no help at all she basicly said that my mom was crazy and depressed just because she started crying. we then went to another dermatologist and they gave her a pill that seemed to help a littile but not completley.
although weve tried alot of different things were still open minded and willing to try anything and everything. anyone who has any ideas to what this may be or have experienced this or know of anything that can help PLEESE help!!! PLEASE! thakyou

Shower daily. Showering is more effective than lying in a bath, because the mites do not simply die in the pool of warm water. Instead, shower in hot water and use a loofah and Epsom salt to scrub the mites off your body.

Cleanse the body with a mixture bleach and water. Make sure that the bleach is extremely diluted. Mix the ingredients in a spray bottle and use it in the shower, taking care not to spray the concoction in your eyes. Allow the bleach solution to remain on your skin for 30 seconds and rinse your body thoroughly.

Maybe she needs anxiety medicine. I have anxiety and I freak out over little things. Sometimes I think up things and freak out over them when they aren't so bad.
