Are you really suggesting that people who are mentally ill are instead demonically possessed?

Are you really suggesting that the mentally ill are better treated with medieval superstition rather than with modern medicine?

Mental illness such as Schizophrenia and Bi-Polar disorders, have been proven to be and are diseases of the brain chemistry and as such can be treated and or alliterated with proper medication along with family support.

There was also a time when people with seizure disorders like epilepsy were considered to be demonically possessed; they were often subject to forms of extreme torture in attempts to drive these so called demons out of them. Many of them died as a result.
