• Absintomania — An impulsive, uncontrollable, and pathological desire to consume absinthe; the compulsive mania of intoxicating oneself with wormwood liquor. From an ethical and philosophical perspective, absintomania represents the extreme phase of the alienation of the will, a stage where the individual's inner freedom is completely annihilated by addiction, turning the bohemian act of creation into an absolute mental and moral slavery.
• Agromania — An excessive preoccupation, obsessive passion, or mania exhibited by a person for agriculture, land cultivation, and rural life, sometimes extending to an exaggerated idealization of the countryside over urbanization. In a psychiatric or behavioral sense, it represents a pathological tendency or fixation toward agricultural activities or an impulsive desire to live exclusively in solitude in the countryside.
• Compulsive mimetism — A literary, abstract, or neologistic term created to conceptualize an individual's obsessive urge, psychological impulse, or mania to perfectly imitate, structurally copy, or identically reproduce behaviors, artworks, lifestyles, or external models. It designates a pathological or aesthetic fixation on faithful duplication, lacking personal originality.
• Algomania — A pathological tendency, impulse, obsession, or morbid and impulsive desire to experience physical pain or to actively seek situations generating bodily suffering to achieve a psychological release. In clinical psychology and psychopathology, it denotes an extreme behavioral manifestation.
• Amaxomania — A pathological, obsessive, and uncontrollable urge to continuously ride in vehicles or an exaggerated, eccentric passion for automobiles and means of transport. The structural manifestation of this behavioral disorder involves a constant search for motion via mechanical locomotion.
• Anteromania — Rare mental disorder or behavioral fixation manifested by a pathological obsession with the future, compulsive planning of upcoming events, and the conscious or unconscious refusal to live in the present. In older clinical terms, it described a specific mental agitation where patients projected their entire existence into future scenarios.
• Apodemialgia — A psychological distress or morbid nostalgia manifested by an obsessive and painful desire to travel, permanently leave home, or wander without a precise purpose; an archaic clinical form correlated with dromomania or reverse nostalgia. In old medical literature, the term described a profound restlessness of an individual who could not find peace in the domestic space, often triggered by existential crises.
• The love of money — The definite articulated form of the noun 'arghirofilie'; the pathological passion, obsessive attachment, or extreme greed exhibited by a person for money, silver, or the accumulation of material wealth. In a structural and psychopathological sense, arghirofilia is considered a behavioral disorder tightly linked to avarice and compulsive hoarding, undermining emotional balance and interpersonal relations due to a constant fear of financial loss.
• Asthenomania — A rare mental disorder or obsessive preoccupation characterized by a person's deliberate simulation, exaggeration, or morbid focus on states of weakness, fatigue, and asthenia, often used as an unconscious or conscious mechanism to gain attention, sympathy, or social advantages.
• Ataxophobia — A morbid, obsessive, irrational, and persistent fear of disorder, chaos, mess, or things that are not perfectly aligned, organized, or symmetrically arranged. Individuals affected by this phobia experience intense anxiety and panic attacks when in unorganized environments, developing rigid compulsive rituals to maintain absolute control over their surrounding space.
