Yes they did call people with epilepsy possessed with demon. As we must know that medicine had not advanced as today. And as they could not give a good explanation, the easiest would be devil possessed. The above answer is incorrect. There was distinctions made between people that were sick and demonic possessed. There was also distinctions made between those that were lunatic and demon possessed.

According to the Bible are mental disease and epilepsy caused by demonic possession?
No.how can we possibly think that epilepsy is demon possessed. Jesus found these people in this condition that is recognised as epilepsy today.There was no word for this or any other type of disease of the mind and body,so if a person was struck down by such disease's then they would be ascribed to the devil/demons. The whole idea of the miracles was the fact that Jesus was illustrating that if you have enough faith to believe that Jesus can heal, then he will. On a couple of occasions Jesus told the person that he was healing that their faith had made them whole. Don't fall into the trap that these people were struck with the same illness's after Jesus left the scene. What would be the point. When Jesus heals he truly heals.When lazarus was raised from the dead what was the reason?So that the glory of God could be revealed. sin is about what we are when God finds us. When we turn to God we acknowledge that we are sinful because of what we are inside. there is no third party involved its between God and us.
