What's with the ghost possession?

The so-called "possession of ghosts and gods" is a common hysteria, which occasionally appears in mental disorders such as schizophrenia. This situation is more common in people with rich feelings, rich imagination or superstition, especially rural women. First of all, patients have the ideological basis of believing in ghosts and gods and are easy to accept suggestive personality characteristics. After intense mental stimulation, self-awareness, self-suggestion, such as suspicion that ghosts and gods will possess, or verbal suggestion from the environment or others, the patient claims to be a so-and-so fairy, which is the embodiment of the dead soul. At this time, patients often speak in the tone and identity of these possessed people, and their tone becomes special. The content of his speech is related to the patient's inner experience at that time. It can last for a few minutes or hours. After suggestive treatment, patients can quickly recover their identity, and can partially recall the course of the attack after the attack.

"Possession of ghosts and gods" itself is only a symptom of mental illness and a morbid experience of patients under strong emotional reaction. She spoke her thoughts and demands in the voice of the dead and ghosts. Only when the patient believes in ghosts and gods, will the symptoms of "ghosts and gods possessed" appear when he is sick. On the other hand, people who don't believe in ghosts and gods will not have this symptom no matter how sick they are. At present, rural culture is backward and feudal superstition is prevalent. There is nothing terrible about the phenomenon that some hysteria patients are possessed by ghosts and gods. What is terrible is that some witch gods take this opportunity to publicize superstitions, cheat patients of money and make them physically and mentally disabled. I hope that the majority of patients and their relatives believe in science and don't fall for those charlatans.
