I was watching Dr. Oz interview Joel Osteen Monday afternoon. Joel Osteen, a celebrity minister, surprised me when he said he isn't sure if people are hearing "evil forces" when they hallucinate voices.
As someone who struggles with mental illness, I was shocked that anyone in this day and age could say someone with schizophrenia, for example, is actually hearing evil spirits.
How does Sikhism explain mental illness, hallucinations, etc? How does the Sikh community typically react to those who have mental illness? Are there any Sikh organizations for people with mental illness?
Blessings
