👉 Pathomania is a medical condition characterized by an excessive interest in or obsession with specific locations or activities, such as a particular park or a favorite restaurant. This can be both physical and mental, leading to feelings of frustration, anxiety, and a distorted perception of oneself when one is not in the location of interest. Pathomania may also manifest as obsessive-compulsive behavior, which involves repetitive thoughts and behaviors that are highly problematic for an individual.
