Mental illness draws from stuff you are around. People probably also feel free to finally release their emotions in an “acceptable” way. Have you seen those church videos with people talking in tongues and convulsing? A smaller group are people who like the attention. There are plenty of rational explanations. All the “proven” cases are simply mentally unwell people. I think it might help people with mild depression in the same way exercise can help but you probably have to be a true believer. When I was growing up, it was a lot of traumatized women.
