No, I believe in performing exorcism for this specific catagory:
​
They have not been helped by any other means, and cannot resist voices who speak to them telling them to steal, kill and destroy.
​
Do demons manufacture dopamine in the striatum of the possessed person's brain? 'Cause that seems to have a lot to do with who gets to hear voices in their head. Do risperidone and aripiprazole repel demons at least part of the time? Are there any studies published on the relative efficacy of those two drugs vs. The Name of Jesus in combatting psychiatric disorders?

Demons themselves are quite content for you to remain in your unbelief, while the evil they cause abounds all around you.
​
But do they live in the striatum of my brain, and diddle with my dopamine balance there? Do antipsychotic drugs repel them? You're not answering my questions! You don't want to hurt my feelings, do you?

Re: added "as recorded in the Bible"
As long as you're still around, 10:10 - do demons dink with the chemical balance of the "possessed's" brain, or not? Do antipsychotics like clozapine chase off lesser demons and leave only the really studly ones bothering prople?

Re: added "as recorded in the Bible"
Lord, help my unbelief.
​
My unbelief is doing fine, and doesn't need any help from Jack Lord, Tracey lord, or from you, 10:10. But thanks for the offer.

Re: "Lord, help my unbelief."
In return I wish you all the best with regard to those pesky demons.
​
And remember to try risperidone as a repellent if the Holy Name of Jesus doesn't chase the little red bastards off quickly enough.
