Monomania is an abnormal obsession with a single thought or idea. Monomania in psychiatry means a type of paranoia in which the patient has only one idea or type of ideas. It's emotional and the patient is obsessed with one emotion or several related to it. Example: A person is obsessed with someone of the opposite sex and may follow them, steal small items of that persons or even enter their home when the victim is not there. The additional paranoia for the patient is seeing the person they are obsessed with out with another woman/man and may even do harm to that person. A good example of this was the movie called 'Play Misty for Me.' Clint Eastwood was a disc jockey and a fan who would call in to have the song 'Play Misty for Me' had a great obsession over him and she took over his life ever so coyly he didn't know what hit him. She would threaten suicide and tried. When he thought he had gotten rid of her there she would be again. When his ex girlfriend came back into his life she was threatening his girlfriend. Some people with Monomania may silently obsess and do no harm to the person they are obsessed over.
Then there are Monomania patients that obsess over career and are paranoid someone is stealing their job, or, the obsessed person may try to cause problem for coworker so they will be fired. In other words, Monomania can come in many different forms of obsession. = =

Cyclothymic disorder is a mild form of bipolar disorder in which a person has mood swings from mild or moderate depression to euphoria and excitement, but stays connected to reality.
Alternative NamesCyclothymia
Causes, incidence, and risk factorsThe cause of cyclothymic disorder is unknown. Although the changes in mood are irregular and quick, the mood swings are far less severe than in bipolar disorder (manic depressive illness). Unlike in bipolar disorder, periods of hypomania often do not become actual mania.
See also: Bipolar disorder
Symptoms- Alternating episodes of hypomania and mild depression lasting for at least 2 years
- Patients tend to be more irritable or dark, rather than euphoric or happy
- Persistent symptoms (less than 2 symptom-free months in a row)
The person's own description of the behavior usually leads to diagnosis of the disorder.
TreatmentA combination of antimanic drugs, antidepressants, or psychotherapy are used to treat cyclothymic disorder. Medications used to treat this condition are called mood stabilizers.
- Lithium. Lithium has been used for years in patients with bipolar disorder, and it may also help patients with cyclothymic disorder.
- Antiseizure drugs. Valproic acid (Valproate), carbamazepine (Tegretol), oxcarbazepine (Trileptal), and lamotrigine (Lamictal) are the most established antiseizure drugs. Other antiseizure drugs used for bipolar disorders include gabapentin (Neurontin), zonisamide (Zonegran), and topiramate (Topamax).
Patients may not respond to medications as strongly as do patients with bipolar disorder.
