I think my cousin might insane or possessed or something?

I'm worried about my cousin, I'm afraid he might be going insane or something. Lately he's been complaining about these noises (that no one else can hear) that according to him sound evil.

The other day, when we were riding in the car, he started freaking out over something he smelled, he couldn't explain the smell, but he said it smelled evil.

Then, earlier, I heard him talking to himself, he was saying the weirdest stuff like,

"I don't want to do this anymore."

"I'm tired."

"Please stop."

"Why are you doing this to me?"

"You dug your grave now you can lie in it."

When he said the 'you dug your grave now you can lie in it' part, his voice went from sounding extremely distressed to sounding cold and a bit mean, kinda like it wasn't him speaking.

What should I do?

    I hope you are not joking around, but this could be a sign of schizophrenia. I'm not exactly sure which type, for there are different types of schizophrenia, but you should just check and see. If you believe in a certain religion that might accept him as being possessed, you might want to see if a priest or another religious figure may help you, if you wish. There are many different ways to help people with this, and I know it could be a scary situation to be in, but so do your best to comfort him in his times of need. I warn you, it is not good to attempt to handle this by yourself, for he might be going through insanity and will try to harm you. Tell an adult and address it immediately. Doing what you can to help other people is great, just make sure you do it safely!

    Good luck!

    Symptoms of schizophrenia but not to worry; doctors have meds for it.

    And/or it could be demonic; they will attack anybody, especially if theyi are not born again Christians.

    Help him to find a big happy church, attend some groups with him and have fun. Talk with the pastor/minister or the youth pastor/leader. They have more wisdom than you and I. And where else can you get FREE counseling? and its demonic, a good pastor knows what to do to free him of them.

    Troubled people need peace; a good pastor can show you how to have perfect peace. God loves you more than you can possibly imagine :)

    Assuming you are serious, you should tell an adult. It could be a symptom of a serious mental illness that is treatable with medication. He should go to a therapist and psychiatrist to get the help he needs.
