morbidity
This term operates primarily within medical and epidemiological spheres to describe the state of illness or the frequency of a disease. It is distinct from mortality, which refers specifically to death; morbidity focuses on the quality of life and the burden of living with a condition.
In a psychological or literary context, the word shifts toward a fascination with the macabre. This usage describes a preoccupation with death, decay, or grim subjects, often implying a deviation from healthy mental interests.
