It is sad to see someone at a mental institution. People who have lost control over their minds, people who despite all good intentions may have made mistakes, or may have mistakes made to them. Those people may have been wounded, they may have allowed those things in their minds, or even just have been born that way.
The Bible say we must love God with all our strength, all our hearts and all our minds, and that's because an empty mind is home for Satan. The Bible also says "When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation." Matthew 12:43-45
That's what happens to a lot of people. I am not saying it is the case for everyone of them, but it happens often.
We must protect our minds, with prayer, with reading good books or the Bible itself, by staying away from whatever can contaminate us, corruption, gossip, pornography, and all there is out there in the world.
Whatever does not belong to God cannot occupy space in our minds. Because that's where sin comes from, that's where the evil one attacks us, in our own minds. The mouth speaks what the heart is filled, and the heart reflects what goes in our minds.
