I am sure that several of the instances where "devils" are mentioned in the scriptures were in fact not matters of possession but rather other physical or even mental maladies.
However, I also believe that demonic possession is a very real thing through experiences I care not to share here or anywhere else for that matter. Whether a devil be allowed to possess through invitation, sin, or some other organic process as Arch mentioned I do not know.
