| Mr. President, as we now approach the August recess, it is natural that a certain dromomania begins to set in. |
|
| Whereas hysteria and epilepsy had an element of theory behind them, dromomania was purely descriptive. |
|
| When Forrest took off on that long run of his, cris-crossing the US with a band of straggling devotees in the film Forrest Gump, he was probably suffering from dromomania. |
|
| The fugue became the episode, and dromomania became the disorder of impulsive fugue, covering not only hysterical and epileptic fugues but also people who were neurasthenic. |
|
| Elsewhere, an object, its identity known only to Favaretto, is buried under several inches of dirt, apparently in homage to a man stricken with dromomania — the compulsion to travel. |
|
| Partly, it was a dromomania I have — I even have it when I drive a car. |
|
| Dromomania is not a specific morbid entity, but a particular manifestation that may be found in a great variety of psychic and mental disorders, that otherwise have but little in common. |
