Abstract: 'Medical Humanities' being a form of critical inquiry, questions the hegemony of white colonial medicine in relation to various aspects of human life and its representation in Literature. The terrifying effects on human beings of the world wars has challenged the established medical practices and highlights the disturbed and distorted conditions of the post war trauma.The present research aims to highlight the basic ideas of Medical Humanities which are deeply embedded in the structure of madness, illness, insanity, normalcy, abnormal etc. in Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway (1925) Furthermore,the paper may also inquire the nature of these constructed realities as not merely psychological,psychotic or neurotic but rather these realties have been determined by socio-cultural, economic and political forces which are hidden in the complex structure of discursive practices and its complex web of knowledge and power
