In recent times, there has been an extraordinary global rise in debate about aging, despite the frequent charge that the subject of ‘‘aging’’ has been relatively underdeveloped in social policy shaping and practice (Phillipson 2013). This article draws upon the theoretical work of French philosopher Michel Foucault in order to map out a conceptual and methodological ‘‘tool-kit’’ for the analytical investigation of aging as it has been characterized in social discourse. Further, I claim that Foucault’s extensive conceptual and methodological works can be used to understand the construction of old age as a core focus of health and social care and that, in many cases, health and social care has simultaneously come to stand for old age itself.

The coronavirus is a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, or SARS-CoV-2. The resultant coronavirus disease is popularly called COVID-19. Until February 2020, few nations outside China reported COVID-19 cases (1). In March 2020, based on confirmed cases, the virus began spreading rapidly in South Korea, Italy, Spain and other European countries, and in the third week of March to the United States [1, 2]. On 11 March WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. As of 5 October there are more than 36 million confirmed cases, more than one million deaths and nearly 27 million recovered [3]. The latest data also show that COVID-19 cases rates are increasing more rapidly in poor and developing countries than in wealthier and more developed nations [3, 4].

Neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia are more distressing for the caregivers of persons with dementia, compared to the cognitive symptoms. Inappropriate sexual behavior or hypersexuality is one of the behavioral problems which cause significant caregiver stress and without proper management, may result in institutionalization and social isolation. There is currently no official treatment guideline in the management of inappropriate sexual behavior in dementia. Successful management of sexual disinhibition is often multifactorial and the approach should be individualized with non-pharmacological and pharmacological approach.
