It does sound like he's trying to fit a complex psychological process into a label that's too simplistic.
Is there a chance it could be partly chemical? I've had similar obsessive "enthusiasms" when I was on a new medication or supplement. Sam-E was the most pronounced--it did put me in kind of a manic "trance." Wellbutrin too--still does a bit, but it's mitigated by Zoloft.
I know you've modified your meds regime a good deal, but it might be worth asking your pdoc about it again (apologies if you've already done this a million times).
As for hypnosis, it does work in the short term I think.
