The French psychiatrist Jean-Étienne Dominique Esquirol considered an ''idée fixe'' – in other words an unhealthy fixation on a single object – to be the principal symptom of monomania. The term ''idée fixe'' had already seeped from psychiatric discourse into literary language before Hector Berlioz employed it in a musical contextIn music, the term ''idée fixe'' refers to a compositional device similar to that of a ''leitmotif''. See: in his programmatic ''Symphonie fantastique'' (subtitled ''Episode in the Life of an Artist...'') of 1830 to denote a recurring melodic theme that references the composer's own romantic obsession (or erotomania) with the actress ...

Dogmatix
Dogmatix ( ; ) is a fictional white terrier dog who is a companion to Obelix in the ''Asterix'' comics. ''Dogmatix'' is a pun on the words '' dog'' and '' dogmatic''. In the original French, his name is a pun on the expression '' idée fixe'' ('fixed idea'), meaning an obsession. On January 6, 2021, it was announced that the character would have his own animated television series titled '' Dogmatix and the Indomitables''. Character synopsis Dogmatix is the only animal among the main characters of the series. His role is minor and funny in most of the stories, serving mainly as a 'bone' of contention between Asterix and Obelix as to whether he should be allowed to accompany them on their adventures.
