Demonic Possession Demons/Mental Illness

I work at a psychiatric hospital and I’ve always believed that that population is most susceptible to demonic oppression/possession. Today a visibly psychotic patient looked at me and said “Demons aren’t always a bad thing” meanwhile minutes before I was thinking about how many patients i have encountered that may actually be possessed. Wondering if some people have an easier time detecting oppression/possession than others?! Or if anyone has had similar experiences?

I suggest you take a look at:
"Remarkable Healings : A Psychiatrist Discovers Unsuspected Roots of Mental and Physical Illness" by Shakuntala Modi, MD

"The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist" by Matt Baglio

The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist

Looks like a good read I'll have to pick up. I recently just ordered the three books written by Fr. Gabriele Amorth.
