| Abstract: | The article discusses the concept of limerence, a term for romantic infatuation that can become obsessive and detrimental to one's life. Limerence involves intense feelings for a single person, leading to mood fluctuations, intrusive thoughts, and idealization of the object of affection. While limerence is not a formal diagnosis, it can significantly impact individuals' mental well-being and relationships. The article suggests using acceptance and commitment principles to help individuals manage limerent thoughts and feelings. [Extracted from the article] |
