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.
