Whatdoes it say inthe Bible about INSANITY & Afflictions of the Mind?

i.e,?

I am a bit limited on time here; but the story of Saul trying to kill David 21 times (quite often attempting to impale him against a wall) and the love/hate sort of emotion he had toward David is a classic illustration of such an issue. Surely we could say the actions of Judas Iscariot and the Antichrist fit in there as well; in fact the final end of the unregenerate in Revelation truly is insane; attempting to fight God as seen in Psalm 2 and Revelation 19.

God would cause enemies to fight after each other as well as elicit fear among them. God also is going to send strong delusion in the last days; so God Himself can allow this to happen. Ultimately; of course it is the spiritual entities of devils that affect men; as seen today with those afflicting pain on themselves or committing suicide; many behaviors which are identical to those in cults in the scriptures as well as today. We see this with the worshippers of Dagon I believe when they were trying to get their "god" to do something during the prophetic challenge of Elijah (and or with Baal). Child sacrifice would be considered insane too; although in today's society we have made it a social or human rights issue instead.
