The document summarizes the key differences between demonic possession and mental illness. It argues that the symptoms of possession and some mental illnesses are very similar. In the past, when knowledge of mental disorders was limited, those exhibiting symptoms were often considered possessed and sometimes tortured or killed during exorcisms. Now, with greater scientific understanding of mental disorders, possession is considered a rare phenomenon. Those who strongly believe in the supernatural are also more likely to perceive normal events as supernatural in nature. The document uses the book and film The Shining as an example where a character exhibits behaviors that could be considered either possession or mental illness.

Chapter 1111-1Symptoms of Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders
The symptoms associated with schizophrenia spectrum disorders fall into four categories: positive symptoms, psychomotor abnormalities, cognitive symptoms, and negative symptoms.11-1aPositive Symptoms
Case Study
Over a month before he committed the Navy yard shooting, Aaron Alexis called police to report that three people—two males and a female—were following him. He explained that he was unable to sleep because these people talked to him through the walls, ceiling, and floors of his hotel room. He also reported that they were using a microwave to send vibrations into his body (Winter, 2013).
Positive symptoms associated with schizophrenia spectrum disorders involve delusions, hallucinations, disordered thinking, incoherent communication, and bizarre behavior. The term “positive symptoms” refers to behaviors or experiences associated with schizophrenia that are new to the person. These symptoms can range in severity, and can persist or fluctuate. In the case above, Alexis experienced two positive symptoms: auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) and a delusion that three people were following him, keeping him awake and sending vibrations into his body. Many people with positive symptoms do not understand that their symptoms are the result of mental illness (Islam, Scarone, & Gambini, 2011).
Delusions
Many individuals with psychotic disorders experience delusions. Delusions are false beliefs that are firmly and consistently held despite disconfirming evidence or logic. Individuals experiencing delusions are not able to distinguish between their private thoughts and external reality. Lack of insight is particularly common among individuals experiencing delusions; in other words, they do not recognize that their thoughts or beliefs are extremely illogical. In the following case study, therapists confront a graduate student’s delusion that rats were inside his head ...

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. INQUIRY QUESTION…
Can one actually become possessed by a supernatural
entity or is it just a mental state of mind?
3. Thesis Statement
Possession by a supernatural entity is a very rare
religious phenomenon that is often confused with the
symptoms of common Mental Disorders.
4. Definitions you should know…
Supernatural: Attributed to some force beyond
scientific understanding or the laws of nature.
Spiritual Possession: A term for the belief that
animas, demons, extraterrestrials, gods, or spirits can
take control of a human body.
Mental Illness: A medical condition that disrupts a
person’s thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to
others and daily functioning.
5. Background information
• When information on Mental Disorders was limited and
religion was more widely believed in, people with
disorders such as Schizophrenia and Turrets were deemed
as being possessed. This is why most cases of Possession
happened in the past, although some events have
happened in recent years.
• With Mental Disorders, only the person is affected by it.
When someone is possessed, everyone in the room with
the person is affected in some way.
• Religious people are the ones who are most likely to think
they are possessed because they are believers.
• Demonic Possession is mentioned in the Bible numerous
times and is believed in by Religious people.
6. Demonic Possession Schizophrenia
• Aversion to Holy Objects and
God
• Speaks using rational dialogue
and in tongues.
• Supernatural Knowledge (Can
tell future and past events)
• Does not claim they are
Possessed, as Demons prefer
to be secretive.
• Medicine does not alleviate the
problem.
• Supernatural Phenomena
(Objects Moving, etc.)
• Often want spiritual help
• Never exhibits clairvoyance
• Sometimes claim they are
demon possessed.
• Medicine helps alleviate the
problem.
• Not able to speak in a rational
dialogue, often speaks un-
clearly and changes topics a lot.
• Hallucinations
• Obsessive Behavior
• Acts Agitated or Stone
Faced
• Repetitive Behavior
• Both speak in an odd
manner
• 29% of people with a
Mental Disorder claim
they are possessed when
asked. An Entity will also
say the same if they are
asked.
Argument
#1 ->
The symptoms of Possession and some Mental
Illnesses are very much alike.
Continued..
7. Argument
#1 ->
• Jack soon loses his mind
completely, becoming
increasingly abusive towards
Wendy and Danny.
• Jack ultimately descends into a
murderous psychosis in which he
tries to kill his wife and son with
an axe (much like the old
caretaker).
We know that Jack Torrance was abused by his father when he was young much like
how he abuses his family now. While most Mental Disorders are genetically
inherited, the environment one is in could also influence one to go into a stage of
psychosis. Torrance ultimately becomes obsessive over the thought of killing his
family. This was influenced by his mental state and by demonic spirits that roamed
the Overlook Hotel.
The book never clearly states whether Jack is actually possessed or not but we can
see that the symptoms Jack is expressing are very much like the ones from Demonic
Possession because not only him, but surrounding people are also affected by this
supernatural phenomenon.
The symptoms of Possession and some Mental
Illnesses are very much alike.
8. Argument
#2 ->
In the past, when information on Mental Disorders was
not as vague as it is today, people who were affected
by such disorders were defaulted as being possessed
and tortured as an effort to exorcise the person, most
of the time ending up dead.
• A couple of decades ago, any person with Tourette syndrome or various forms of psychosis such as
Schizophrenia were considered to be demonically possessed as their conditions provided the public with
reason to regard them in that light because science was not as modern.
• In the 1900’s, a young boy with Autism was exorcised and killed in the process because it became so
violent. They saw that the ‘demon’ would not exit him and intensified the exorcism, ultimately killing him.
• In 2010 on Christmas morning, a 14 year old boy was beaten and drowned to death by relatives because
they thought he was possessed.
• People who were believed to be possessed were eventually starved and even beaten to death because
every exorcism was unsuccessful.
In order to prevent these types of event from happening in the future, The Vatican brought a rule
that stated that before performing an exorcism the person must be first psychiatrically assessed.
9. Argument
#2 ->In The Shining, we see that Jack exhibits many symptoms of Mental Disorders that are
similar to the ones of Demonic Possession. Some of these symptoms were:
• Depression
• Becomes increasingly abusive towards his son Danny and wife Wendy
• Starts hallucinating, see’s ghosts throughout the Overlook Hotel and even interacts with them at
some points (Sitting at the bar with the Janitor).
• Irrational thoughts come to mind, like the thought of murdering his Family.
• Generally becomes insane (From an average persons point-of-view).
Before Modern Science: Jack would of most likely been exorcised to the point of death because of his
insanity. The first exorcism would likely have worsened the state of psychosis he was in causing him to
become even more mentally un-stable. Since people were unaware of these Mental Disorders, they
would think that their exorcism was un-successful and proceed with another one, ultimately killing the
victim.
11. Argument
#3 ->
One who believes in the supernatural has a
higher chance of perceiving an event as being
supernatural compared to one who does not.
• Experiments show that when it is suggested to a believer that a paranormal
event has occurred in their presence, they are more likely to report as having
witnessed such event, when indeed it had not (Wiseman et al., 2003).
• An example:
Two different people were given a tour of a house but were told different stories
about it.
Person A: Was told the house is haunted.
Person B: Was told the the house is currently under renovations.
After taking a tour of the house, Person A & B were interviewed.
Person A: Walked throughout the house in fear and reported supernatural events
occurring such as foot steps etc.
Person B: Walked throughout the house comfortable like it was his own. Did not
even think of the house as to being haunted and did not see anything
‘supernatural’.
12. • In The Shining, Halloran suggests to Danny that he has a supernatural power called ‘Shining’,
where he can see things. Once that idea was put into his head he started to have these
‘visions’ more often.
• An example of this was when he walks to the presidential suite and sees blood on the wall.
• When Danny is taken to the doctor, he tells his family that Danny's visions are because of
stress caused by the poor relationship he has with his family.
Argument
#3 ->
13.
14. Connections to the course
theme: conscience &
awareness• When a person is spiritually possessed or believes they spiritually possessed,
they're awareness of everything around them diminishes as they becomes fixed on
only one subject or object. By loosing awareness of their surrounding, those people
will also loose touch with their conscience, thus becoming a completely different
person.
• On the other hand, people that do not believe in spiritual possession can be more
aware of their surrounding, and perceive things for what they truly are, instead of
what they may seem to be.
• Although in some cases, people that believe in spiritual possession and the
supernatural have heightened awareness, but loose track of what they perceive as
being supernatural and what is not.
Editor's Notes
Before we were familiar with Mental Disorders, people with Schizophrenia, Turrets, and many other Mental Disorders were mistakenly deemed as being possessed because of the lack of knowledge people had in the field of Mental Disorders. This is why most cases of possession have been reported in the past.
When information on Mental Disorders was limited and religion was more widely believed in, people with disorders such as Schizophrenia and Turrets were deemed as being possessed. This is why most cases of Possession happened in the past, although some events have happened in recent years.
