He called himself a Christian .. i call him insane and real ballsy!
My Muslim friend says her family thinks the same thing.
Treatments would include listening to the "mentally ill" or Magical person, so that they were given respect. Also, mud baths, soaking in special waters (Lourdes spring is full of natural Lithium, that's how scientists figured out how to treat mania with lithium). BUT, unfortunately, there have been time periods (Dark Ages) where mentally ill people suffered horribly, being stoned etc. Is this Long Enough? Sorry, I was a Lit' major. I go on & on. Peace!
