seanahan: Probably. I got the phobias and manias from the lists noted up top.

jennarenn: I was going for words that describe psychological states or issues, whether manic/phobic or otherwise. I just happened to find extensive lists of funny and probably made-up manias and phobias, but there are some outliers in the mix, like meshuganah, ennui, melancholia, rinxiety, and logorrhoea.

I'm beginning to think that many of these were recently made up.

Where exactly does ennui fit in with the rest of this list?

Sounds like someone's got a case of crazylistomania.
