Question:

Is the cause of epilepsy demonic or any demonic attachment with epilepsy?



Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r), CCL, LTh, DD, LNDC

Dear Francis:

"Epilepsy is a disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is disturbed, causing seizures."

"The cause of most cases of epilepsy is unknown, although some people develop epilepsy as the result of brain injurystrokebrain tumor, and substance use disorders."

Epilepsy has nothing to do with demons. There was a time when people thought a person experiencing an epileptic seizure was possessed. Thus, there were many misdiagnosed people, unfortunately.

To be fair, a possessed person can exhibit seizures and body contortions during an exorcism or deliverance, but this is not the same thing as epilepsy.

Never presume a person having an epileptic seizure is possessed. It will almost always be a medical issue.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
