Opsomania, or mania against a specific type of food, is an excessive and uncontrollable ambition to eat only one kind of food. This situation manifests itself in our psychiatric practice as an overwhelming and irresistible desire, especially for sugary foods or appetizers (Quackenbos 1901). This word originated in Ancient Greeks. Fish at that time was of great commercial importance. An enthusiastic desire for fish consumption is accompanied by this situation, referred to as fish mania (Davidson 2018). Sugar mania is common in America and threatens young women's health (Adam 1892). It manifests itself with various diseases, including stomach complaints, indigestion, decreased cognitive functions, smelly breath, etc. (Quackenbos 1901). Here, we aimed to mention a patient who ate only sugary foods after her mother's death and had various medical conditions caused by this diet. Since there is not enough information about opsomania, we believe our case will contribute to the literature.
