Do you believe in that speaking with angels is a mental illness ?

Bible has a lot of citations about "possessions by demons", and epileptics. I read about the greek doctors in Jesus time, used "beladona", and opium to relieve it. and if you read the "Thousand and one nights", the Arab stories told by princess Scheherezade, that mental illness were quite common and the affected were arrested and locked as animals.

Well, if you're asking a question like this, you're probably already mentally ill...does that help?

No.  Though, I'm sure some people think God talked to them.  The brain will fill in whatever voice you want to hear if you really want to hear something badly enough.

I work in the mental health field.  I have had numerous opportunities to apply this particular verse to situations.  Because of Federal regulations, I cannot say "Thus sayeth the word of the Lord.." But I can say---your symptoms are manifestations of your illness. (The truth, true?) Tell them to quit.  It works and my client's obtain some freedom from their symptoms.  So Yes You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

I think it is a scare tactic. I do believe in mediums, but not emily rose type posessions. I don't get why a "demon" would want to possess a body, only to harm it. It is like buying a house only to burn it up.

I believe they do.  Once, I was having a difficult time during lent, and an angel came to comfort me.  His arm was like a sheild, but I didn't see him.  His presence was instant peace.\n\nAnother time, I felt as if a Dire Wolf was in the same room as me, ready to tear me apart.  It was a frightening experience.  I very nearly forgot to breathe!  I could see it infront of me if I closed my eyes.\n\nMaybe I have an over-active imagination, but it seemed to me that it was real.  The presence of these ethereal creatures was tangible, and outside of myself.  It's kind of like walking out into the sunshine from the dim interior of the house.  The atmosphere changes.\n\nPlus, I've read all kinds of stories of how people were saved by guardian angels, or tormented by demons.

I have never heard this idea before, so I don't have any real answers for you...just wondering if you really mean people with schizophrenia (and if so, what type?) or if you mean DID?

We all do.  Especially children.  We may not just have 1.  Sometimes angels come to us appear to us that they are just a regular person.   I don't know if you have been in a situation like that where you thought you might have been visited by an angel.  The bible does say, "Don't be forgetful to entertain strangers for thereby many of entertained angels unaware".

I believe in Angels and the nine choirs. Though, I really should do more research on them...

It is important to consider how the religious belifs are manifesting themselves...for example, if the client believes he/she is being spoken to by a higher power through fuzz on an off television station, it is most likely pathological.\nAlso, regardless of whether their religious belief system is "pathological" or not, if it causing problems int he clients everyday life, there is a problem.

I believe it to be highly improbable. I have never seen a credible account of demonic possession. It is more likely that these people were just suffering from a mental illness.

No, but it's a character flaw if you consistently exploit it.\n\nHowever, an inability to understand the moral consequences of manipulating others can be a sign of mental illness.

Mistaken? Deluded? Mentally ill?

Absolutely it is insanity.  Have you ever seen/heard someone speaking in tongues?  It is truly frightening!

It depends on the sect.  Some still don't believe it and chalk it up to demonic possession.  But most see it for what it is, an illness that needs proper treatment.
