Hyperboulia

Perhaps an explanation of hyperboulia should also be provided, instead of just a self-referencing link (which it currently is). You click hyperboulia, and it simply reloads the aboulia article. Might one presume that hyperboulia is an over-active desire to do things? Simply saying that hyperboulia is 'the opposite' of aboulia is somewhat vague, and fails to answer a potential reader's questions.

Interwiki links

I don't think the link to the Spanish-language article is correct - abulia means "apathy" in Spanish, and es:Abulia describes the mental condition, not this neurological one. We might want to check all the others as well. | Mr. Darcy talk 01:28, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Abulia as "bad advice"

My old "American College Dictionary" (Random House) states that the root of "abulia" is the Greek word "aboulía" which is supposed to mean “ill counsel.” This is obviously incorrect. The Greek root is aboulē, which means "without will." | 173.72.111.239 (talk) 02:02, 27 June 2016 (UTC) Hans Wurst

Etymology in Am.-english dictionary online

borrowed from New Latin, probably borrowed from Greek aboulía "thoughtlessness, irresolution, indecision"; derivative of áboulos "inconsiderate, ill-advised", from a- a- entry 2 + -boulos, adjective derivative of boulḗ "will" — more at boule entry 2
