  • Aboulomania (from Greek a– 'without', and boulē 'will') is a mental disorder in which the patient displays pathological indecisiveness. It is typically associated with anxiety, stress, depression, and mental anguish, severely affecting one's ability to function socially. Although many people are indecisive at times, it is rarely to the extent of obsession. The part of the brain that is tied to making rational choices, the prefrontal cortex, can hold several pieces of information at any given time. This may quickly overwhelm somebody when trying to make decisions, regardless of the importance of that decision. They may come up with reasons that their decisions will turn out badly, causing them to over-analyze every situation critically in a classic case of paralysis by analysis. Lack of information, valuation difficulty, and outcome uncertainty can become an obsession for those with aboulomania. Researchers speculate extremely authoritarian or overprotective parenting can lead to the development of aboulomania. They believe the disorder is a result of overinvolvement and intrusive behaviours. The caretakers who have caused this extreme dependency may have rewarded loyalty and punished the child or patient for independence. It is thought the family of the diagnosed might also be neglectful or avoid expressing emotions in order to demonstrate properly defined relational roles in the family. (en)
  • Aboulomanía (del griego α-, que significa sin, βούληση-, voluntad y μανία-, locura - demencia de la indecisión)​ es el desorden mental en el cual el paciente experimenta graves cuadros de indecisión en los diferentes campos de su vida cotidiana.​ , ​ , ​ Está comúnmente asociado con la ansiedad, el estrés, la depresión y la angustia, por lo que puede afectar severamente toda capacidad para sociabilizar. Aunque muchas personas sufren de indecisión a diario, raras veces la sufren en la medida de la obsesión,​ ya que la región del cerebro asociada a la toma de decisiones racionales, la corteza prefrontal, puede contener varias piezas de información en un momento dado en una persona normal,​ pero en el ya mencionado desorden mental no es así. Cuando se trata de tomar decisiones, independientemente de la importancia de estas, abruma rápidamente a alguien. El resultado es que el paciente califica sus decisiones como inadecuadas o que los resultados serán completamente adversos, por lo cual sobreanaliza cada situación críticamente y origina un clásico caso de parálisis del análisis. La falta de información en un tema, la dificultad para la valoración de cada una de las partes en la premisa y un resultado repleto de incertidumbre convierten cada escenario en un cuadro de obsesión.​ Es frecuente confundir este trastorno con la abulia, que es otro desorden relacionado con la voluntad y la motivación, en el que la persona también experimenta una disminución de la motivación, de la energía y de la voluntad con la única diferencia respecto a la aboulomania, de que esta degenera en una obsesión y genera pensamientos recurrentes e intrusivos en la persona.
