You don’t have a Clue do you ?
Go and talk to those who suffered from the Condition before then report back

Medicine manages it but doesn’t Cure it

Do both Spiritual and Medical Together

Good Day Dear Nairaland Family,

My Sister started behaving weirdly last few Weeks. She laughs alone, talks alone and is sometimes restless especially at Night.

Though she always responds well and correctly when engaged. I've asked her and she told me she doesn't know when that happens and it's unintentional.

I, on my part have tried talking to my Dad to take her to a Mental Health Expert, my Dad seems to believe it is spiritual attack instead.
Please, I need Medical practitioners in the house to help tell me what she's probably suffering from so I can Confidently convince my Dad.

Can you please help move this to front page?

How old is she? Is she in her teenage years and less or around 22years old? If yes, it could be signs of early psychosis such as paranoid schizophrenia. She need to see a consultant psychologist who’ll review her and run a mental health assessments on her and the diagnosis will determine if she’ll be placed on antipsychotics or CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) medication to manage her symptoms.

There’s nothing like spiritual attack here. Mental health is an absolute medical condition and only a medical intervention will help.

She may need to see a doctor, but if your dad is stuck on 'spiritual attack' there is not much you can do. sad

Look for a family friend your dad respect who you are sure does not subscribe to religious healing. The man may be able to convince him

We had a case back in school where a girl was raped and threatened by a guy and also started acting funny. It was after they got her to a psychiatrist it all came out.

If she is hearing voices in her head
That is a sure sign of Possession by earthbound spirits.
If she is not hearing voices then you can refer her to mental clinic

But if she is hearing voices that tell her to do certain things. Then no amount of medical science will solve it

So Find out if she is hearing voices then give me feedback
Then i can tell you how to cast those earthbound spirits.

I have been possessed many times by both good spirits and earthbound spirits. So i know the difference b/w the good ones and dark ones.
And i know how to make the dark ones run away from me ( well there are some stubborn ones that take more time to leave)
The most important thing is "does she hear voices in her head?"
That's the only way I can help
If she is seeing cluster of people and shadow?

MALIGNANTGuest:
Nigeria needs more mental and rehab centers than anything else.
As well as more counseling centers.
Counseling JOB is a very good job abroad.
But in Nigeria, Fake Pastors took over and commercialised it.
People are going through a lot
you should be the first to visit the many rehabilitation centres you ask for in Nigeria.cos you should be talking about the root cause of mental health problems in Nigeria and a solution.than going straight to rehabilitation.almost everybody in Nigeria has mental health problems as well as high blood pressure.

Ask your parents if they have any history of such mental illness on both sides of the family.
Sometimes it can be hereditary
Sometimes it can be due to trauma or spinal injury.
What your cousin is experiencing Is schizophrenia.
Google electrotherapy
Why electrotherapy works is because these evil spirits hate electric shock.
It does something crazy to them.
Lower voltage of electricity cant be felt by human body. But evil spirits can feel it very much and its very very painful to them.
Using electrotherapy has worked many times to cure possession and schizophrenia episodes

I would advice you to take her to a psychiatric hospital,she would be administered drugs(either ssri or snri) and other treatments. But you have to know that any drug she is given is for life.
Pls you can drop your number or i drop mine,i will like to ask some important questions.
Note: you also need to pray for her seriously bcus even in the book of sirach God advised us to seek doctors bcus he has given them knowledge but we should also pray for he is the one that can bring total healing.

Check the symptoms of Schizophrenia if that is what you are describing. It's treatable just get her to an hospital.
