When is psychiatric treatment enough and when is intervention of a priest really essential?The authors discuss the problem of mental disorders in connection with religion and spirituality in the clinical context.

This paper reports the study case of a 23-year-old woman who was diagnosed with abnormalities in the central nervous system (EEG, MR), personality dysfunctions and various mental symptoms (including anxiety and depressive signs) but also-according to the first psychiatrist assessment-a psychotic disorder with visual hallucinations. Necessity appeared to determinate the ground for these visual signs: imaginational, illusionary or hallucinatory. Neurological and psychological tests were performed and psychotherapy was started. The results of the neuropsychological tests did not indicate the presence of organic changes in CNS. Traits of typical epileptic seizure were not found in the clinical picture of the reported seizure disorders. Based on interview, the patient's clinical status, psychological and imaging tests-epilepsy was excluded and a diagnosis of deep emotional disturbances was made.
