As a mental health professional who work with patients diagnosed with Schizophrenia on a daily basis, I am becoming increasingly convinced of the spiritual nature of their affliction. It’s unbearable to watch helplessly while they experience excruciating mental anguish as they report persistent auditory, visual, and command hallucinations of ‘demons’ as they call them. These supposed entities that they see and hear attempt to terrify them, beleaguer them, torture them with words that incite shame and guilt, command them to hurt themselves, and others. I’ve noticed how the majority of the hallucinations of those with Schizophrenia, are centered on ‘angels’, ‘demons’, and ‘Satan’. Most of them are obsessed with religion because of these negative experiences.

The scientific world would scoff if they were asked to even hypothesize that these patients may be experiencing real entities, but I don’t think it’s that scoff-worthy. I think the tunnel vision of the scientific community regarding supernatural phenomenon is scoff-worthy. Irmak’s article is the only one that I’ve come across that has been brave enough to at least broach this subject with regard to Schizophrenia: link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10943-012-9673-y/fulltext.html

I’ve come across a powerful prayer that I pray at home for those I work with. I encourage you to pray this for those who are in mental anguish.

Thanks for sharing that prayer!!

I also read the Springer article and then came across this as part of another news article from the Catholic News Agency: “Kathryn Kase, one of Panetti’s lawyers, has said the inmate believes he is being punished as part of a satanic conspiracy to prevent him from preaching the Gospel on death row.”. Link to full article:

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Holy Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God,
thrust down to hell satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Blessed Mother, through the countless miracles attributed to your intercession, you have evidenced a generous and compassionate heart and a great love for the sick. Be with me during this time of ill health, and accompany me as I face sickness and infirmity. Help me to experience God’s healing power through your prayers, as well as my own.

Lead me to unite myself to the Cross of Jesus Christ, so that this suffering brings spiritual benefit to me and to others. May my bearing the cross of illness here on earth, prepare me for the eternal joys of perfect happiness and fullness of life with God forever in heaven. Amen.

**Father, source of light in every age,
the virgin conceived and bore Your Son
Who is called Wonderful God,
Prince of Peace.
May her prayer,
the gift of a mother’s love,
be Your people’s joy through all ages.
May her response,
born of a humble heart,
draw Your Spirit to rest on Your people.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.

Amen. **
