- A strong desire for independence and self-sufficiency
Causes[edit | edit source]
The exact cause of eleutheromania is unknown. However, it is believed to be influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Some people may be more prone to developing eleutheromania due to their personality traits or life experiences.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
