ife expectancy has constantly been on the rise for the last 150 years in developed countries, mainly due to better living con- ditions, higher hygienic standards and improved medical care. According to the WorldL Health Organisation (WHO), global average life expectancy increased by 5.5 years between 2000 and 2016, the fastest increase since the 1960s. Life expectancy in India has increased from 49.7 years in 1970-75 to 68.7 years in 2012-16, as per the National Health Profile 2019. The high life expectancy we face today has led to a significant increase in the number of senior citizens in our society.

Even if we do our best, but another result was des- tined, then we need to let go. We can be confident we did our best, but God may have another plan for us.

Gifted with ability to observe keenly and sensitively human behaviour, literary fig- ures, those who penned poems, novels and plays, brought to human knowledge many scin- tillating and moving descrip- tions of characters displaying abnormal behaviour. This hap- pened much before abnormal behaviour became an area of scientific enquiry. Even psy- chologists believe that literary classics while describing human abnormality in all its infinite elegance often achieve explicitly representational accounts that science cannot archive. Othello introduced readers to deep insight into facets of obsessive jealousy. Euripides in his play Medea described emotions of jeal- ousy and revenge by a mother who killed her children. Sophocles in Orestes vividly explained delusional and hal- lucinatory symptoms stem- ming from severe feelings of remorse and guilt. The intense guilt reaction of Lady Macbeth after her having participated in killing of King Duncan got expressed in her symbolic hand washing and turning a som- nambulist.
