Temporal lobe epilepsy & religious experience.

[Jehanne]

All clinicians will tell you that it is impossible to diagnose someone with any psychiatric condition who lived decades or centuries ago. Fact is, though, that "God's revelation" has, apparently, not stopped, because, there are hundreds of individuals in our World today who are claiming active visions of Jesus, the Blessed Virgin Mary, etc. Few believe them, of course; but, if such individuals exist in our Day, with or without a DSM diagnosis, then they also existed in times past.
