Seriously, your "demon" came from within you. Because of your upbringing and what you had been taught by religion, you attributed these symptoms to demon possession instead of a transient mental/mood disorder. One possible candidate is schizophrenia, the symptoms of which often begin to manifest in late adolescence. True.
“Schizophrenia is characterized by profound disruption in cognition and emotion, affecting the most fundamental human attributes: language, thought, perception, affect, and sense of self. The array of symptoms, while wide ranging, frequently includes psychotic manifestations, such as hearing internal voices or experiencing other sensations not connected to an obvious source (hallucinations) and assigning unusual significance or meaning to normal events or holding fixed false personal beliefs (delusions). No single symptom is definitive for diagnosis; rather, the diagnosis encompasses a pattern of signs and symptoms, in conjunction with impaired occupational or social functioning”
