Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by abnormal social behavior and failure to understand what is real.

So which of the following demonstrates the existence of Satan?

  1. ​the blind
  2. the lame
  3. the leper
  4. the deaf
  5. the resurrected
  6. the poor

So which of the following demonstrates an evil spirit?

  1. one who can't see
  2. one who can't walk
  3. one who has a disease
  4. one who can't hear
  5. one who is alive
  6. one who doesn't have much money

Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; Luke 7:22
Other than the resurrected, all of the above could be the result of Satanic or demonic activity. Study the Gospels.
 
Schizophrenia is out of my league, but I do happen to know someone in that category (schizophrenia or bi polar always get the two confused and mixed up). Anyways this guy I know, known him for a very long time, has been on anti psychotic drugs for a long time. I have always wondered if the use of such drugs could of made things worse over the years? I don't know as it is out of my league this area. I do know that people with this problem cannot manage their finances properly, and often someone else has to.

But when one starts hearing about multiple personality disorders, I have often wondered if this cold be in relation to some kind of possession by multiple demonic beings? Just when one reads up on these type of disorders, and you hear about different personalities inside these people, it does make one think if the concerned individual has been possessed by multiple entities??

It is out of my league of understanding in this area. Sorry I couldn't be much more help. What is interesting however is that these these anti psychotic drugs, from my research, can cause the brain to shrink. Number of articles on the internet about this.

"... how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached." Luke 7:22

Study the Gospels.
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:26

Shhh!

Why are you quoting Scripture out of context? The first verse refers to what Christ was accomplishing in His earthly ministry, and the second verse refers to the fact that the Holy Spirit Himself teaches believers all things. Neither of these verses show that demonic activity was causing many issues, and Christ was constantly casting out demons.
