It 100% is demonic possession and that's what every sane psychiatrist would also tell you. The "hormone disbalance in the brain" theory bs went down the drain recently.
I listened to an interview with a man who came to that conclusion, I think he was masters-level. He was working in inpatient and wasn't a Christian or believer in God when he started. Then he noticed the "voices" were not disorganized, as they should be if they were true hallucinations. Then he realized they were actively conspiring against the patients so that they would do things against their best interest (stop taking meds, stop meeting the counselor). At one point, he found out the voices were quelled by being in church and hearing Psalm 23. I wish I could remember this guy's name, he was the first person in the field who I heard come to that conclusion.
And now that we know schizophrenia may in fact be demonic possession, it's no wonder the old-timers called the plant "devil's lettuce"
