psychomania

A bizarre condition used to describe someone that is an utter tool and offers help to other people in online forums purely on the basis of getting points or ratings in exchange for it.
User : "I am having problems with my Nokia 7500prism phone?"

Psychomania : "You are a stupid user, it is not you phone causing the problem, it is you."

User : "Dammit, that was not helpful at all, I'm giving you a bad rating"

Psychomania : "Oh No! Please not that, I beg of you, please do not rate me down.....no....."

Psychomania

The psychological and psychiatric version of Neuromania: the belief that all human experience, behavior, and social phenomena can be reduced to psychological mechanisms, diagnostic categories, or therapeutic frameworks. It manifests in over‑diagnosis (every quirk is a disorder), in the psychologization of politics (“voters are irrational because of cognitive biases”), and in the claim that all problems are ultimately mental health problems. Psychomania ignores structural, economic, and cultural factors, attributing poverty to “learned helplessness” and oppression to “trauma.” Critics argue it pathologizes normal human variation and shifts focus from social change to individual adjustment. It is a form of therapeutic authoritarianism.
Psychomania Example: “The psychomaniac explained student debt as a ‘symptom of poor financial impulse control’ and prescribed therapy, ignoring decades of tuition inflation and wage stagnation. Everything was a diagnosis.”

psychoanalyze 

jump to conclusions, assume you know someone's mind or true motivations based on very limited evidence. Often used in a negative sense.
Julie: "I'd never date someone who doesn't eat cheese -- he's probably one of those judgmental health nuts."
Jaden: "Whoa, no need to psychoanalyze him! Maybe he just doesn't like the taste."

Louie: "It's been 6 minutes since she last texted. Do you think I said something wrong??"
Aiden: "Dude, calm down. You don't need to psychoanalyze everything she does..."

Psychofanaticism 

1) Initially taking on a healthy interest in something of current public interest (may or may not be positive), and progressively becoming psychotically fixated on the issue to the point of committing mass lethal, and anti-social acts as a means for change. Extremely similar to the standard psychotic individual, but with a more specific means to their mental state.

2)In more casual usage: One who is too overbearing and obnoxious about their interests, and constantly expresses their superiority because of it.
1) The Joker from the Batman series (With the former businessman back story)

2)Extremist Anti-Abortionists

3)Some religious sects who use pyrotechnics and exploit both their own and other peoples lives to glorify their cause.

Example use in a sentence:

Psychofanatic: "Hey, hey, hey, you! New guy! I see that you have a Metallica T-shirt!"

Person 1: "Uh... Hell yeah man they're sick!"

Psychofanatic: "Haha you still listen to Metallica? Bow down before Prog-Metal! for there is no comparison to this true art of epicness! If you walk around with that on, you might as well die in a hole...!"

Person 1: "Shit... This guy isn't the first today... is this a school for psychofanaticism or something?" e_e

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
