possession by evil spirits

Possession by evil spirits is a belief that malevolent entities can take control of a person's body or mind, affecting their behavior, thoughts, or actions. This concept appears in many cultural and religious traditions and is often associated with spiritual or supernatural influence rather than medical causes. Symptoms might include sudden personality changes, inexplicable behaviors, or physical sensations. While some interpret this phenomenon as a form of spiritual invasion, others see it as psychological or neurological. Understanding varies widely, but generally, possession is considered a cultural explanation for experiences that may also be attributed to mental health conditions.
