What is the mental illness that makes you think that you are a vampire or a witch(referring to wiccan)?

by admin
Filed under: illness 

My neighbor thinks that she is a vampire and we’re wondering what illness she has.

Being Wiccan means one follows the religion of Wicca. Religion is not a mental illness.

Being a witch means that you practice witchcraft. Witches are no more ill than psychics or faith healers. You may or may not believe in them, but that doesn’t make them sick.

While I suppose clinical delusion could cause you to believe you’re a vampire, most people who claim to be vampires are perfectly sane. Possibly not totally grounded in reality, but sane. Vampire beliefs also vary widely. Some are patently absurd (undead, can live forever, etc) while others are really no more or less credible than religious beliefs (feeding off of life energy, believing their soul is different from that of humans, etc.)

    7. Delusion.

    Don’t worry. Its common. They keep most of the sufferers in places called “Churches”.

    9. If she truly believes she’s a vampire she’s hiding from reality for some reason and it’s exhibiting itself as this.

    People that follow Wicca are no crazier then those that follow Christianity,Judaism etc. They don’t believe they have any powers whereas the person that thinks they’re a vamp is trying to cover up they fact that they will die. Actually, with that thought, I ‘ve just realised it’s the Wiccans that are the most sane!

    10. If she thinks she is a vampire then she has TVitus. If she thinks she is a witch with great magic powers then she has TVitus.

    If she is a Wiccan and practices that as her religion and you are calling that an illness then she has nosey-biggeted- neighbor-itus.

    11. schizophrenia

    but that is a SERIOUS condition(hallucinations, hearing voices), the person would not generally have a group of friends that all dress thae same way

    it is most likely just looking for attention

    13. what is your mental retardation that you equate thinking you are a vampire with a religious choice of being Wiccan? Being Wiccan is not a mental illness, and just for your information, you dense, intolerant, rude, fanatical bible thumper, Wicca stems from Paganism, and Paganism IS THE FIRST RELIGION!!!!!!!

    16. Being a Wiccan doesn’t mean riding on a broomstick or putting hexes on people. Wiccans are followers of the first religion, Paganism, which was the worship of nature and the sacred feminine. Later on, Christians borrowed a lot of the Pagan symbols many were already familiar with and the old Pagan ways were said to be “Demonic” so that people would switch over to Christianity. It’s funny how most believe if one doesn’t belong to “their god” they’re screwed. So does that mean that if one happens to be born on the wrong area of this planet, are their souls lost? I myself don’t believe in organized religion but I do believe that if someone is insane, evil, mean, good, bad, sad, happy, craves attention, or just plain nosy, it has nothing to do with religion!!!
