Why is it common for mental disorders/abnormalities to induce demonic visions?

I’ve read about people with psychosis claiming to be tormented by devil. Personally I experienced episodes of sleep paralysis, and I remember seeing dark figures “attacking me”

One of probably three things comes to mind:

– the mental disorder/abnormality *actually is* demonic in nature
– the person experiencing the disorder/abnormality is predisposed to associate anything “really bad” with demonic activity
– absent any other *plausible* explanation, it’s ‘easier’ to say something was demonic vs the shadow of a tree at night on your wall (for example)

There may be other reasons, but these are the top I can come up with
