We had a woman with mental issues in our church, and every now and again she would,erupt in yelling and screaming, and folks would et up and help her put of the room where she could yell at leisure. There was some talk abput possession, but most chalked it up to mental issues.
Another church had 2 people, one was skitzo, the other was a scientology peep who fou s their way into the church. Thst one I be,eive might have been possessed, she was ushered out and never came back. The other was a mentally ill person who would have brief outbursts, which folks learned to just ignore because they knew his condition.
A person can have mental issues AND a demon.

Just what are mental issues?
Did Jesus heal any mental issues? Does Paul talk about mental issues?
They did talk about casting out demons.
I do make a distiction between physical brain injury and insanity.
Physical brain injury from an accident, a birth defect, medications (maybe the VAX).
Drug abuse, may be the door to demons.
(For insanity, see Shiff, not sane, not logical, cannot see truth.)
I think there is a lot more demon activity than most people realize.
I also do not think Christians know how to deal with them.
I expect to more activity recognized as demonic as these last days unfold.
