After the birth of my fourth baby I was severely depressed. I asked my husband for a blessing and was told that I would overcome this difficulty through my spirituality. Over the course of several months, I began to notice that I would get into "fits" of sorts. I could feel them coming on and couldn't seem to do anything to stop them. I would pray, read my scriptures, sing hymns, anything, but I would just keep getting worse and worse until I was in a screaming rage. I was terribly unhappy about these ordeals because of how I was treating my family.
As I continued to go through these trials, I began to discover different things about them. I soon noticed that they came on after I had done things that I shouldn't have (like wasting time watching TV or things like that.) I also discovered that I could stop them by asking for a blessing. After a while, I noticed the Spirit would tell me to get a blessing, and if I didn't do it at the next available chance, I would start to go in one of these fits.
I believe that these fits were demonic possession and that the power of the priesthood was able to cast them out. I later learned how to cast out evil spirits myself in the name of Christ and would do that whenever I felt the need. After a time, the Lord promised me that I would not have evil spirits come into me anymore and the only experience I have had since then was a time I believe when the Lord wanted to give my husband a chance to knowingly cast an evil spirit out of me.
