‎Mental illness is not demonic— Psychologist

Date:

A psychologist at Ghana Police Hospital, Sylvester Sackiteh, has called on Ghanaians to seek psychological attention when a loved one begins to experience mental challenges.

‎According to him, that will help the person to recover at a faster pace than dwelling solely on divine intervention.

‎Speaking in an exclusive interview with Novella Chat on Max TV in Accra on Sunday, the psychologist made it clear that mental illness is not demonic but a medical condition.

‎He stated that as one was seeking medical attention, the person could as well support it with prayers.

‎”Because both must go hand in hand. I am not saying don’t seek divine intervention. Memory loss is not demonic but a mental issue. You must seek medical help and add prayers to it,” Sackiteh added.
