− | In 19th century psychiatry, '''monomania''' (from Greek monos, one, and mania, mania) is a single pathological preoccupation in an otherwise sound [[mind]]. [[Emotional]] monomania is that in which the patient is obsessed with only one [[emotion]] or several related to it; [[intellectual]] monomania is that which is related to only one kind of delirious [[idea]] or ideas. In 1880, monomania was one of the seven recognized categories of mental illness. After the 1950's monomania was no longer used as a technical term in [[psychology]], and does not appear in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnostic_and_Statistical_Manual_of_Mental_Disorders Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders]. However, a number of disorders once [[classified]] under monomania [[survive]] as [[impulse]] control disorders or conduct disorders or delusional disorders. | + | In 19th century psychiatry, '''monomania''' (from Greek monos, one, and mania, mania) is a single pathological preoccupation in an otherwise sound [[mind]].

| An '''idée fixe''' is a preoccupation of [[mind]] held so firmly as to [[resist]] any attempt to [[modify]] it, a fixation. The name originates from the French [French : idée, idea + fixe, fixed]. Although not used technically to denote a particular disorder in [[psychology]], idée fixe is used often in the description of disorders, and is employed widely in [[literature]] and everyday [[English]]. | | An '''idée fixe''' is a preoccupation of [[mind]] held so firmly as to [[resist]] any attempt to [[modify]] it, a fixation.
