Who's to say. The position of the church and those around her are convinced she suffered from demonic possession. The more scientific community's position is that demonic possession does not exist. Most people do not believe in something they cannot explain. It frightens them to admit they don't know the hows and whys. I couldn't say for sure what she suffered from, as I haven't seen all the evidence for myself. The only one who truly knew was her, and she's passed on, so she can't tell us.

Anneliese Michel (September 21, 1952 – July 1, 1976) was a German woman who believed she was possessed by six or more demons and subsequently underwent an exorcism. Her story is the basis of two motion pictures, The Exorcism of Emily Rose and Requiem.
Anneliese experienced severe psychiatric disturbances from the age of 16 to her death at age 23. Although the faith-based treatment was performed at her own request, because hospitalization and intravenous feeding could have saved her life, both the priests who performed the exorcism and her parents were convicted of manslaughter. The Catholic Church, which had authorized the exorcism, reversed itself and declared it a case of mental illness; however, many people believe she was possessed by demons, and her gravesite is a destination for pilgrims to this day.
she began to suffer from depression. Having centered her life around devout Catholic faith, Anneliese began to attribute her condition to demonic possession. She grew increasingly frustrated with medical intervention as it did not affect what she perceived as her real problems. Long-term medical treatment proved unsuccessful; her condition, including her depression, worsened with time. Continuously haunted by demonic images, and increasingly intolerant of sacred places and objects, she came to feel certain that demons had possessed her.

She ended up dying. they had a trial and was going to jail the priest on murder charges for killing her. That was the whole point of the movie. Emily Rose was a college student who all of a sudden became possessed by the Devil and the priest was trying to say her life-but she died trying to "save her soul".
