That is sad.
There are living Churches where the sick can find Jesus, and healing in His name.

Too bad that it's false 'healing' and that religion attracts a lot of mentally unstable and extremely gullible people...

Religion cannot heal mental illness. I believe it just makes it worse in many cases.

You beliefs are not based on truth.
Luk 8:35Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

Interesting snippet from a study on 'possessed' women in China:

DSM-IV reminds us that dissociative symptoms are also found in acute stress disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and somatization disorder. Moreover, belief in "possession" might also be part of a delusion associated with a thought disorder. Patients in cultures that endorse possession as a plausible cause for pathology might assume when experiencing any number of general medical or psychiatric illnesses that they have been possessed.

The Clinical Characteristics of Possession Disorder Among 20 Chinese Patients in the Hebei Province of China -- Gaw et al. 49 (3): 360 -- Psychiatr Serv

In other words, if someone actually believes in possession--and their religion or culture endorses that delusion--that, in itself, may be a sign they are mentally ill.

Continuous rejection of reality in favor of religious delusion is heartbreakingly sad to me.
