It seriously pisses me off when people claim that mental illnesses such as Schizophrenia are caused by demons.
Telling a person with a psychotic illness that they are being contacted by spirits will only serve to further confuse them and drive them deeper into madness. I speak from experience here - a person in this forum suggested this as a cause of my voices and it confused the hell out of me.
"Voices" are products of the sufferer's mind. They are like imaginary friends gone wrong - and they behave however you expect them to behave. If you believe they are demons out to get you, they will become demons. (In my experience - it probably varys from person to person.)
Mentally ill people already have weird ideas in their heads - telling them stories about evil spirits will just make it worse. That goes for OCD as well.
I think the OP is an evil spirit. (troll)
Agreed. Whilst I am sad for the sufferer, please lets deal with the science behind the 'disorder' instead of confounding unrealities. The facts, that you can get better, should be good news. I would imagine everything is confusing enough without pretending the demons are doing the deed.
