"Sab pagal hote hain": Dr. Rekha reiterates the continuum model of understanding mental health. Sunil expresses his suspicion of the medical system.
A diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia is explicitly made, its uncommon clinical presentation noted and mention of brain surgery made, allowing for both the medical and therapeutic solutions to be acknowledged.
Diagnostic tests and psychometric exams reveal a fixation with a beautiful girl -- a rare explicit depiction of psychological measurement methods.
The different types of "hansee": khoklee/jhootee (fake), lamee (extended), chhoti (short), that of a 16 year old girl and that of neither a man nor a woman.
