What is "monomania"?

Monomania refers to an obsession or fixation on a single idea, subject, or object, and ignoring all others. Individuals with monomania may become extremely preoccupied with a particular topic or pursuit, often to the point that it causes harm to other aspects of their life. This intense focus can lead to difficulties in maintaining relationships, pursuing other interests, or functioning effectively in daily activities. While monomania is not considered a formal mental disorder, it can still have significant impact on an individual's well-being and they may benefit from therapeutic treatments to broaden their focus and improving overall balance in life.

сезонное аффективное расстройство

существительное

a medical condition in which one is depressed in fall and winter, particularly due to lack of sunlight

What is "seasonal affective disorder"?

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs at a specific time of year, usually during the fall and winter months when daylight hours are shorter. People with SAD may experience symptoms such as low mood, lack of energy, oversleeping, overeating, and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms typically improve as the seasons change and daylight hours increase in the spring and summer. The exact cause of SAD is not fully understood, but it is thought to be related to changes in light exposure, which can disturb the body's internal clock and mood-controlling hormones. Treatment for SAD often involves light therapy, where individuals are exposed to bright artificial light to mimic natural sunlight, as well as other therapies such as medication and counseling.

Orthorexia nervosa is often described as an unhealthy obsession with eating healthy or "clean" foods to the extent that it interferes with daily life and overall well-being.

This obsession with healthy eating can lead to extreme dietary restrictions, social isolation, and negative impacts on physical and psychological health.

However, it is still important to address concerns about unhealthy eating behaviors and seek support from a healthcare professional if necessary.

What is a "persecution complex"?

A persecution complex is a psychological condition characterized by an irrational belief that one is being mistreated, oppressed, or punished by others. Individuals with a persecution complex may interpret neutral or harmless interactions as evidence of mistreatment or a scheme against them. This belief often leads to feelings of paranoia, resentment, and unfriendliness towards others, as well as a sense of being a victim. While some individuals may have experienced genuine mistreatment or oppression in the past, a persecution complex involves an exaggerated or false sense of punishment that is not based on reality. Treatment for a persecution complex may involve therapy to challenge and change these beliefs, as well as addressing any underlying issues contributing to the condition.
