Answer 22

Properly trained priests, exorcists, demonologists, and investigators who witness signs of possession know that one who manifests these symptoms must first be evaluated by a psychiatrist in order for said person to receive treatment or to rule out mental illness in order to proceed with exorcism. This is imperative as mental health symptoms and symptoms of possession mimic one another. Treating a mental problem with exorcism can have devastating effects on a mentally ill person.
