It is experienced by MS patients; that's why they take anti-deppressants too with their medications to counter the effect.. Neurons never get replaced; unlike normal cells.
DMTs for example are well known to cause depression as a side effect. So taking examples other than MS, the condition has organic origins too.
MK's responses in this thread are another reason I hate how religion distorts reality. But this isn't just Islam, but religion worldwide. Superstition and deity belief lead the follower to buy very horrible stories that are nothing but fiction. It is why sick crap like the Salem Witch Hunts happened. It is why con artists like Benny Hinn get away with ripping off gullible followers. But the worst part is that can make worse mental illness with beliefs like demons and evil spirits and cause the mentally ill to harm themselves and or others.
There are no evil spirits manipulating the neurons in one's brain. There are only natural psychological and electro/chemical functions that can be out of whack because of family genes, environmental conditions, possible abuse, addictions, neurological. BUT there is no fictional villain pulling our strings.
The real help for mental illness are psychiatrists, psychologists, doctors and neurology, and even mere support groups and family and friends who accept it as natural causes without religion or superstitions.
