#compulsive behavior

• Alcoholomania — A pathological, irresistible, and obsessive tendency to consume alcoholic beverages; a term used in some clinical contexts as a synonym for chronic alcoholism or dipsomania. This condition emphasizes the compulsive and manic component of psychological dependence, where the individual aligns their entire daily activity toward obtaining and consuming ethanol.
• Bacteriophobia — A specific anxiety disorder characterized by an irrational, pathological, and persistent fear of bacteria, microbes, and contamination. Affected individuals manifest intense compulsive behaviors, such as excessive handwashing, repeated surface disinfection, and complete avoidance of public spaces, a phenomenon closely correlated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
