Amenomania (original) (raw)
Amenomania (compound of Latin amoenus, "cheerful"; and Greek μανία, "madness") is a disused psychiatric diagnosis that originally designated patients with delusional disorders which do not paralyse them, but who may have fixed bizarre delusions. In some cases, religious delusion might accompany, causing individuals to believe to have peculiar spiritual powers, or even being God, often characterising outlines which might be diagnosed by modern psychiatry as paranoid schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

| dbo:abstract | Amenomania (compound of Latin amoenus, "cheerful"; and Greek μανία, "madness") is a disused psychiatric diagnosis that originally designated patients with delusional disorders which do not paralyse them, but who may have fixed bizarre delusions. In some cases, religious delusion might accompany, causing individuals to believe to have peculiar spiritual powers, or even being God, often characterising outlines which might be diagnosed by modern psychiatry as paranoid schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. According to Benjamin Rush, amenomania would be a higher form of hypochondriasis, in which the patient, instead of having anxiety upon non-existent diseases, would deny any imperfection in his health, being not melancholic about his mental abnormalities, but rather cheerful (hence the name of the condition). (en) A amenomania (composto entre o latim amoenus, "alegre"; e o grego μανία, "loucura") é um diagnóstico psiquiátrico obsoleto originalmente designando pacientes com delírios que não o paralisavam, mas poderiam causar-lhes delírios bizarros. Em alguns casos, obsessões religiosas poderiam ser acompanhar a condição, fazendo com que indivíduos acreditassem ter poderes espirituais peculiares, ou mesmo serem Deus, frequentemente caracterizando quadros que poderiam ser diagnosticados pela psiquiatria moderna como esquizofrenia paranoide ou transtorno bipolar. Segundo Benjamin Rush, a amenomania seria uma forma mais elevada de hipocondria, na qual o paciente, ao invés de sentir-se ansioso por doenças inexistentes, negaria qualquer imperfeição em sua saúde. Ademais, ao invés de suas anormalidades mentais fazerem-no melancólico, fá-lo-iam feliz. (pt) |
