4. Note for Mental Health professionals
Due to ignorance about the spiritual root causes of these manifestations, there is a need for spiritual measures for their cure. Due to the lack of a scientifically tested, evolved and established system of spiritual diagnosis and treatment, most cases of such manifestations approach the Mental Health professionals for help. The Mental Health professionals traditionally tend to look at these manifestations of demonic possessions as purely psychological phenomena. They label it as Hysteria and other dissociative states, psychosis, etc. This is mainly because they do not look at the spiritual dimension when considering the root causes or management of these phenomena. The team of psychiatrists on our panel of doctors has been studying thousands of these manifestations for the last 7 years. They say that these are not psychological phenomena because:
There is no specific contributing stressor to the manifestations
Manifestations are cured by spiritual remedies
However spiritual remedies may take some time to cure the manifestations depending on the relative strength of the possessing ghost and the spiritual healing remedies applied. Here spiritual healing remedies include spiritual practice by the person who the ghost is manifesting in. In such cases the manifesting person may need urgent medical intervention like medication to at least stop the physical manifestations, especially if violent or harmful to self or others. They may also need to have physical restraints applied so as to not hurt themselves or the people around them.
Now, one may think, how come so called ‘manifestations of ghosts’ are cured by drugs?
As the spiritual problem has affected the person at a physical or psychological level as is apparent from the manifestion, treatment measures have to be directed at that the relevant level But limiting the ‘treatment’ only to physical and psychological dimension does not ‘cure’ the root cause, it only suppresses symptoms to some extent for the time being. This is amply evident from the low cure rates of psychiatric illnesses.
The last word is yet to be said about all so called ‘psychological’ disorders. The psychological sciences are still in their evolutionary stage and hence it is best to keep an open mind.
