A Breakdown
There appear to be many similarities between the symptoms of schizophrenia and the symptoms linked with demonic possession. Auditory hallucinations and bizarre fantasies are two examples of what could happen. In a similar vein, some people suffering from the disease talk in a “word salad,” which appears to indicate a collapse in their ability to think coherently. This is analogous to the phenomenon of speaking in tongues, which occurs occasionally.

Delusions
In addition, it’s important to note that the types of delusions schizophrenia patients have can appear to be influenced by their cultural background. Religion-related delusions, such as believing oneself to be a prophet or possessed by the Devil, are widespread in societies with a strong Christian heritage.
