Atheist here who had folks want to do exorcisms on me when I was still a believer: I agree with you that a lot of folks expecting exorcism to cure mental distress and trauma can do harm by ignoring valid methods of treatment done by medical professionals.

The only thing I can amend further to this post is that with putting a person through exorcism, it's often puts the innocent person in a bad-looking position, placing a stigma on them when the issues surrounding the person could be to blame instead (e.g. bullying causing a child to become withdrawn and the family choosing to insist on prayer over helping the child get proper help from the school). Especially when the innocent person comes to their family for support and care for legitimate pain, having their family instead insist that their problems are unusual, unlikely, inhuman, or not understandable/relatable can be very damaging and isolating.
