1) What does your first question even mean? 2) It is a proven fact that mental illness is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Doctors and scientists have been saying this for decades and have done numerous studies. Have you attended school to become a psychiatrist? How about science? Something tells me you have not.
Do you honestly believe people have schizophrenia and/or bipolar disorder because they have an ‘evil will’ for others? I have bipolar disorder and I was born with it so I know of what I speak. I don’t have an evil will on anyone.
If you think the ‘Original Sin’ crap is the cause of mental illness then you are ignorant.
You seem to have a penchant for name-calling of late. And your response does indicate that you do regard scientists and doctors as if they were of a quasi-priestly kind. All of said quasi-priestly order insist that the cause(s) of mental illness remain “unknown” and that there “may be” a “genetic predisposition”.
I cannot tell what manner of disorder you have, but no chemical imbalance is inborn; I have an aunt that was drugged into near-oblivion who was diagnosed with the syndrome with the ever-changing name (back then it was “manic depression”).
Nobody mentioned “original sin” save yourself. Perhaps you should have asked the person who said “evil will” what that person meant by that instead of presuming?
I’m going to say this about your post...it’s a proven fact that this kid and other people like him need to be in a nervous hospital. Anyone who wants to cut off body parts that are not infected or diseased are off their rocker.
These threads where folks with obviously no direct experience with a loved one’s mental illness and make grand pronouncements about evil and demonic possession make my blood boil.
At the same time, I hope they can forever live in their abject ignorance.
I would wish the experience my sister and I had over the last 20 years of mom’s life on absolutely no one.
