For much of human history, up until the rise of psychiatry, mental conditions were commonly understood as related to the supernatural — usually Demonic Possession, sometimes Changelings, Mad Oracles and the like. Science Marches On and the idea is not considered true in the West anymore. This could have been a Trope Breaker, but it wasn't. The idea still interests people and so the trope can still be found in fiction. In some uses of this trope, all cases of a particular neurological or psychiatric condition are the result of supernatural circumstances, and you can't have one without the other. Other times, a given condition can be caused by something supernatural, but the same condition can also develop without the involvement of the paranormal. For example, in Percy Jackson and the Olympians, being a demigod isn't the only cause of dyslexia and/or ADHD. This trope can potentially overlap with Go Mad from the Revelation, if a character ceases to be neurotypical as the result of tangling with the supernatural or learning Things Man Was Not Meant to Know. However, most of the time their condition is played as a side effect of an ongoing supernatural connection instead. Can overlap with The Soulless in regard to sociopathy. See also Mad Oracle and By the Eyes of the Blind. If the character gets something useful out of their supernatural connection, it's also a case of Disability Superpower. If the application of this "something useful" changes people's lives for the better in a dramatic fashion, it also makes the characters Inspirationally Disadvantaged. If applied badly, this Trope can create Unfortunate Implications and a Broken Aesop. (If insane people are supernaturally awesome and people trying to help them through therapy or medicine are all allies of whichever evil is roaming around, then doesn't that means that therapy and/or medication are evil (and better off not taken)? Or if the reason for your depression is literally the ghost of your loved one having Unfinished Business and not plain grief, then why bother spending time and money getting counsel, anyway?) Contrast and compare The Madness Place, where the hyperfocus common to autistic people conveys incredible scientific talent, as well as Science-Related Memetic Disorder. See also Mentally Unwell, Special Senses, where people with mental problems can see or sense things that others cannot. |

The "creeps" in the Brief Cases short story "Zoo Day" are demonic entities that attack, possess, and can only be seen by children. When one of the protagonists (young Maggie Dresden) fights back against them, their psychic attacks are described in a way similar to clinical depression (i.e., internal intrusive voices continually mocking you and encouraging you to kill yourself), and it's implied that many young children suffering from depression are in fact possessed by creeps. | |

In Twelve Days, Madame Gupta tells Olympia that her autistic son Hannibal is an "indigo child" whose disability is caused by a kundalini trap — a blockage of his energy — and that she wants to work with him to help him release the trap and access his incredible potential. She actually wants to use his powers to kill people in Sympathetic Magic rituals, because he's the first person she's ever met who's powerful enough to kill people without killing himself. In the end he turns his powers on Madame Gupta and all her accomplices in order to save his family. | |

All Alphas have some kind of mental or physical disability to accompany their abilities. Gary, for instance, is autistic and able to sense and translate radio waves; he's also immune to Nina's Compelling Voice because his brain is too "rigid". One episode gets pretty explicit about it, with a manifesto video by the Alpha terrorist group Red Flag talking about "the recognition of true neurodiversity". | |

Moojag and the Auticode Secret: In addition to the twenty-one senses that most people have, autistics have a twenty-second sense that allows them to read others' emotions and predict future events, but most have buried it because they either weren't aware of it or couldn't control it. When the people running the world learned about the super sense, they were afraid of what autistics might be able to do, so around the time of the Surge, the Conqip took a large number of autistic children underground so they can use the problem-solving abilities enabled by the twenty-second sense to design technology that will allow the Conqip to live in luxury. The Auts form an underclass whom the Conqip feel free to insult and mistreat, even though their lifestyle depends on them. | |

Fire & Rescue Shifters: The conflict in Griffin's mind between his inner animals (he's a were-hybrid of eagle and lion) manifests as random, debilitating spasms. In the second series, an autistic woman (though entirely unsupernatural herself) only finds acceptance and friendship when a pack of weres 'adopts' her. Paralleling how neurodivergent people often feel alienated from neurotypical society and only feel accepted among subcultures of other societal outcasts. |

Stand Still, Stay Silent downplays this with Lalli. He's both a mage and the member of the cast with an ambiguous disorder. The I See Dead People aspect of his powers can account for his strange choices of sleeping places (a preference for small spaces and having other people around), while his cat-like mannerisms may have something to do with his luonto being a lynx. However, there are two other mages in the story. Lalli's older and more experienced as a mage cousin Onni has an overblown and quite possibly justified Big Brother Instinct (he got a Promotion to Parent at some point in the past), but other than that acts perfectly normal. Budding mage Reynir lacks Lalli's quirks as well, but also has been a mage for too little a time for any possible long-term effects on behaviour to kick in. In addition, the author herself has hinted that Lalli could be having some kind of neural issues that exist independently of his powers. | |

Eli Stone: The whole premise of the show is that Eli's brain tumor means that he's a prophet and that his hallucinations are visions sent from God to instruct him. In the first episode, the strange actions of an autistic child are a way God communicates with Eli. It's not one of Eli's hallucinations; God is behind the unfathomable actions of an autistic child, linking autism with the supernatural and treating the child as more a part of nature than a human being with agency. |

Supernatural: Escaped mental patient Anna Milton in Season 4 is Hearing Voices and was diagnosed as having paranoid schizophrenia, the religious overtones of her delusions and hallucinations attributed to her being a Preacher's Kid. She is even diagnosed in her early 20s, which is around the same age real-life schizophrenia typically manifests. In her childhood, she also needed to be taken to a child psychiatrist due to Freak Outs that her "real" dad (later revealed to be God) was going to kill her. Sam and Dean realize everything she is saying is actually eerily accurate and she really is somehow hearing angels. It is soon explained that she is herself an angel who has turned human and whose remaining Psychic Powers make her appear mentally ill to Muggles. Also in Season 4, Jimmy Novak starts hearing the voices of an angel through the tv, sticks his hand in boiling water as a test of faith and feels no pain and later beats the hell out of his best friend, claiming that the man is possessed by a demon. His wife Amelia, quite naturally, thinks her husband has had a terrifying psychotic break, but the truth is everything Jimmy has seen and heard is real. When Amelia learns the truth, Jimmy tells her that her skepticism was totally normal. The sixth season has Sam missing his soul, which is treated as sociopathy. Dean's reference to Dexter in describing him implies that there are natural sociopaths, though. |

KULT: Schizophrenia is actually the ability to see behind the veil covering mundane reality. Mental illness in general is one of two roads to supernatural mojo (sainthood is the other one, but power-wise they're mutually exclusive). In the Divinity Lost reboot, it's explicitly said all mental illnesses are people seeing through the illusion- OCD is a subconscious attempt to perform magical rituals without the knowledge of how they work, personality disorders are attempts to suppress the knowledge of the illusion, depression is the soul being overwhelmed by confinement, etc. |

The Stormlight Archive has a few discussions of this, since Radiants need to be "broken" before they can bond a spren and thus most of them have magical senses and mental illness. Shallan created a magical Split Personality for herself to cope with her trauma but notes the differences between this and DID, while Kaladin sometimes mistakes Odium's power for another one of his depressive episodes. | |

In Blindsight, autistics and psychopaths are descended from vampires, which were a Human Subspecies deficient in a protein found only in humans and which therefore evolved several traits to prey on them, such as a complete Lack of Empathy and super-savant mathematical abilities. However, their hyper-savantism caused them to develop seizures when they saw right-angles, and they died out millennia ago... until a biotech company experimented with gene therapy "cures" for autism and psychopathy, accidentally turning their test subjects into vampires. | |

It's portrayed very differently from the experiences of real-world autistics, though it looks similar from the outside. The New Millennium edition averts this completely, however: Darryl is just autistic and a wizard, and while his autism influences his wizardry, it wasn't caused by it. | |

In Touch (2012), Martin's son Jake appears autistic (though the doctors never could diagnose his disorder). He also has the ability to see complex connections between different people in the world and tell his father how to use those connections to help people. | |

In Dreamcatcher, Duddits (the kid with Down Syndrome who's a friend of the main characters) just happens to be a powerful psychic, who has foreseen some of the twists long ago during their childhood and provided them all with a mental link. Of course, Psychic Children appear in many works by Stephen King, and most of them are neurotypical, so maybe he just won the lottery. | |

In Psychonauts, psitanium's psychoreactive properties mean that prolonged exposure can result in the development or amplification of psychic powers, mental illness, or both. In addition, Psychonauts 2 introduces the power of Mental Connection, which a particularly talented psychic can use to rewire someone's mental schemas and semantic network. Both psychics shown to use it — Razputin Aquato and Hollis Forsythe — have accidentally induced severe psychological disorders while carelessly trying to change someone's mind on a small matter. | |

Game of Thrones: Jojen Reed, a teenager who can see the future, has bouts of what can be clearly identified as epilepsy to a modern audience. According to his sister, his epilepsy is a direct effect of his powers. In the sixth season, it's revealed that Hodor used to be entirely functional, but his mind was destroyed when Bran warged him in the past. |

In A Boy Called Po, while the titular autistic child is in a dissociative trance, his Imaginary Friend Jack tells him that his condition means his mind can perceive more than one plane of existence. Jack invites Po to join a group of autistic children about to board a spaceship, which will take him to another plane where he can live forever. Amelia Carr, a classmate only Po can see, turns out to be one of the children who boarded the ship and now lives entirely outside her body. Instead Po opts to stay on Earth and returns to his body, to find his father frantically trying to talk to him. It's hard to know if any of that was real or if he just imagined the whole thing, though. | |

The trope is discussed when Decker notes that, as the magical firewall that flagged the issue is designed to deal with supernatural threats, it's biased towards interpreting ordinary mental illness as such a threat. | |

Which one causes which is somewhat unclear, though.

Last Res0rt has a place on the soul spectrum for Light Children, who are born with just a little more/less soul than the average person (Sterlings). It's not that this causes things like Autism or Schizophrenia — rather, they happen because the Light Child hasn't been trained properly (compared to the Celeste) to deal with their new powers and sensory abilities. It's implied that with proper training, these individuals can leap right into Disability Superpower territory. One of the pages is even titled "Among the Blind, the One-Eyed Man is Insane." | |

In Night in the Woods, it's implied that Mae's dissociative episodes are caused, or at the very least made worse, by the presence of the "Black Goat" that the cult worships — although that's assuming that the Black Goat is real, and Mae's breakdown in the mines isn't caused by stress or hallucinogenic mine gas. | |

Subverted in Little Busters!. Mio feels intense regret due to feeling like she abandoned Midori, an imaginary friend that lasted well into late childhood and which adults believed she was hallucinating, until she suddenly appears as a supernatural presence within her route. However, the final route of the game confirms that all magical things existing within the routes are due them occurring within the dream world. The dream world was able to manifest Midori as a physical presence through magic, but her hallucinations as a middle schooler were entirely mundane. | |

South Park: Played with in "Sexual Healing", in which the government blames sex addiction on a wizard alien living in Independence Hall. However, what the government calls "sex addiction" isn't really sex addiction; it's just successful men taking advantage of their positions to fulfill normal urges like cheating on a partner. The wizard alien story is bullshit on all levels, made up so people won't have to admit to themselves that the sexual urges of men like Tiger Woods and Bill Clinton are normal. | |

In Dragon Age II, Hawke and company come across a man who swears he hears demons telling him to harm people, but the Chantry and your own resident mages agree that he's not possessed. While Hawke is certain he's just making the voices up as an excuse, the savvy player will realize he's likely suffering schizophrenia instead, and in a world where demonic possession is a very common occurrence, no one believes there are any other sources for voices that simply aren't there. | |

The Cosmere: Played with. Having a cracked soul is a necessary prerequisite for most of the magic systems, and one of the side effects of having a cracked soul is that you are more receptive to influence from the Cognitive Realm, meaning that these people often hear voices from ghosts and planar travelers. However, people with schizophrenia cannot tell the difference between real voices from the Cognitive Realm and hallucinations. It should be noted that schizophrenia is not the only thing that causes a cracked soul, things like depression and PTSD can also crack the soul. The Stormlight Archive has a few discussions of this, since Radiants need to be "broken" before they can bond a spren and thus most of them have magical senses and mental illness. Shallan created a magical Split Personality for herself to cope with her trauma but notes the differences between this and DID, while Kaladin sometimes mistakes Odium's power for another one of his depressive episodes. |

In The Camp Half-Blood Series, demigodhood correlates strongly with dyslexia and ADHD (though they can both occur in mortals). The latter is due to being wired for adventure and battle rather than schoolwork and officework, and the former is due to demigod brains being wired for ancient Greek. | |

Season 5 Buffy Big Bad Glory feeds off people's sanity and makes them insane. The terms are kept vague, but the results resemble schizophrenia. Throughout the same season, said schizophrenics and at least one person with brain-tumor-based cognition problems are able to sense Dawn's true nature, while everyone else gets a Perception Filter if they try to think about her too hard. |

Legion (2017): Played with. David Leeds has believed for his entire life that he was schizophrenic. He was finally admitted to a psych hospital after he trashed his girlfriend's kitchen. A few years later, there was another incident at the hospital, where several people died. This brought him to the attention of the Division, who realized that he is a powerful psychic and try to control him. A group of mutants rescue him and begin helping him untangle the damage the well-meaning doctors did. While doing so, they discover that while he is even more powerful than they thought, he's also schizophrenic, with disturbing visions, extremely distorted memories, and serious emotional issues, all of which make controlling his powers a challenging prospect at best. Then it turns out that the "visions" are of a very real psychic parasite which has edited his memories to remove any sign of itself. And then it manages to take control of his body and his powers... | |

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice: Senua's magic could be derived from her psychosis, entirely independent of it, or all in her head. Senua's father and Druth both see Senua's illness as supernatural, however both of their approaches are shown to be flawed at best. The most sympathetic character, Dillion, just accepts her and doesn't really look into her metaphysical implications. | |
