To what extent do you feel as a Christian that afflictions often attributed to demon attacks are psychological in nature instead?

Even for those that are trained in demology the differences between insanity and a demonic influence are subtile.
As has been mentioned on other threads, RCC exorcists are required to have the apparent demoniac go through psychological analysis before any attempt is made of actual exorcism.
The quickest test requires two people (and the subject). One should speak to and otherwise distract the subject while the other person (who has hidden a blessed object in his hand ) nonchalantly raises his hand with the blessed object behind the subjects head. If the person is possessed they will react strongly to the presence of the blessed object.
Other signs of true possession are aversion to the names of God, Jesus, Saints, etc., violent reaction to Holy Water, speaking in unknown tongues, inhuman strength, abnormal stenches from no source, and of course odd phenomena like levitation or stuff flying around of its' own accord.
Has anyone here actually seen a demon? I watch a lot of scary movies and I was wondering if any of the stuff I see in the theater has any truth in reality.
