Corrected List of Manias

Our list of manias was created from the corrected list of phobias by simply replacing phobia with mania. Theoretically, this should work, although there are some things that we usually don't love. This does not mean that the mania word is not possible, so we have simply generated the list to remind ourselves that obsessive love is as real a potential human condition as obsessive fear. For a longer discussion of what we have done, click here.

A person suffering from a mania is a -maniac, e.g. kleptomaniac, blogomaniac, dipsomania. The adjective describing these conditions is -manic, e.g. kleptomanic, blogomanic, dipsomanic. You may convert the adjectives into adverbs by simply adding -al-ly.
