Eleutheromania, or eleutherophilia is "a mania or frantic zeal for freedom".^[1] Some usages of the term make it sound like it could be used in a medical context with a hint of an irrational disorder, such as John G Robertson's definition that described it as a mad zeal or irresistible craving for freedom.^[2] However other usages assign to the term normal human emotional responses such as a mere passion for liberty.^[3] Individuals with this condition are called eleutheromaniacs.^[4] An antonym for the term is eleutherophobia. An individual that fears freedom is an eleutherophobe.^[2]
