If you’re interested I’d suggest you read Oliver Sacks. “The Man Who Thought His Wife Was a Hat,” is a good place to start. But keeping it to strictly psychiatric diagnosis bipolar and major depression can both result in psychotic breaks.

I am not claiming that there are supernatural beings. I am stating, as a medical professional, there are lots of neurological processes that can lead to people believing things that aren’t real and those causes are not exclusive to schizophrenia

That’s just not true. For a variety of reasons but strictly speaking from a clinical perspective there are a variety of reasons a person might believe in something that aren’t there that don’t involve schizophrenia or another psychotic disorder.
