This episode deals with the issue of Abnormal Behavior. It explains the difference between behavior that can be accepted as normal and that which is away from the realm of the normal. Broadly speaking, behaviors that create distress can be termed irrational and behavior that reduces one's optimal biological, social and occupational functioning can be called abnormal. Abnormal behavior does not necessarily mean mental illness. While one may not be aware of ones' own abnormal behavior, family and friends can be a good way to realize and check ones' abnormal behavior. This sort of behavior is usually a cumulative result of the psychological and social factors acting on the person. Anybody, irrespective of age, gender, class and intelligence can behave abnormally. While it is not the same as a mental illness, to ensure that it does not hamper one's maximum productivity and does not interfere in a person's daily life, getting professional help to sort it out as early as possible is acceptable and can also be important.
