There can be some sub-clinical or sub-fatal conditions. One can get

Andrew is a "theocologist" - he believes that only his god produces
medical cures. Anyone foolish enough to depend on a non-existent myth
to cure him of a medical problem, or foolish enough to take the advice
of someone who accepts the myth as a valid means of medical cures,
should avail himself of the nearest means of suicide - because we sure
aren't currently suffering from a LACK of fools in this world.

Still, we can't ignore spritual/energetic involvements in everything.

YOUR spirit affecting you, yes. *A* spirit doing something? There's
never been the slightest shred of objective evidence of anything
spiritual - it's totally subjective.
