There are several right answers to this question, sometimes it is because the person becomes desperate for a cure. They know there is something in their life that is very, very wrong. The pills help for a while but only while they take the medication. They go off the meds and lapse back into desperation. Often a mentally ill person is led to religion by a fanatic, telling them the devil is living inside them, God is their only hope. Again, in desperation they follow.
Another reason is, obsession is part of the illness. This month it is religion, six months ago it was vitamins, before that something else. It is this obsessive-desperate personality that makes people with mental illness so vulnerable to unscrupulous people.
The best hope for most forms of mental illness is the proper mix of medication, the understanding this is a lifetime commitment and a team approach to wellness; professionals who the person who suffers from mental illness trusts. So many people with very frightening histories of mental illness have been able to turn their life around and live a happy, productive life by committing themselves to such a program.
