Eleutheromania, eleutherophilia or eleuthromania 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 a eleutherophobe.[2]
