Habromania

I couldn't figure out what I wanted to write about using the letter H today. So, I did a google search and came across this website  http://phrontistery.info which contains lists of unusual words. I clicked on H and began to read.

And what struck my funny bone? Habromania: insanity featuring cheerful delusions. Well, my thought was if you had to be insane, I'd go for this one. Be happy and not realize it's all a delusion!

But, I think of the down side to this. If you never feel disappointment, upset, pain, sorrow, etc how could you ever understand another's person's plight? Donate time or money to a worthy cause? Feel any empathy?

I may just research this further as I'm curious of how this works and what if anything the world of psychiatry does for it. It would be a challenge to write a character who is like this. Almost make for a villain who you could almost feel sorry for.
