Explanation:
The sentence could be translated in Gujarati as - "જ્યારે વતર્માન હતોત્સાહિતાની ઘટનાનું નિદાન ગાંડપણ તરીકે કરવામાં આવ્યું..."
Now, let's analyze significant words in this (incomplete) sentence. The word Mania means, પ્રક્ષોભ અને (ક્યારેક) હિંસાયુક્ત માનસિક વિકૃતિ, ગાંડપણ; નાદ. Also, we should refer to a derivative from the word 'Mania' i.e. 'Maniac' or 'Maniacal' meaning, ગાંડું – દીવાનું – (માણસ).
The English suffix -mania denotes an obsession with something; a mania. The suffix is used in some medical terms denoting mental disorders. It has also entered standard English and is affixed to many different words to denote enthusiasm or obsession with that subject.
Also, let's refer to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, which defines "Mania" as a Noun and draws its Etymology as, Middle English, from Late Latin, from Greek, from 'mainesthai' to be mad; akin to Greek 'menos' spirit — more at mind. The Dictionary provides two distinct explanations as follows:
1: excitement manifested by mental and physical hyperactivity, disorganization of behavior, and elevation of mood ; specifically : the manic phase of bipolar disorder
2 a: excessive or unreasonable enthusiasm <a mania for saving things> —often used in combination b: the object of such enthusiasm.

Asker: Actually it is a complete sentence. It is tabulated in the source text as one of the conditions for a bigger event to happen. Thanks for the detailed analysis. Though, I doubt if we can coordinate the semantics of the source and the target languages with the given interpretation which may be right on the deeper plane of thought. I doubt if the back translator would be able to get that right. Would be a pleasure having you more often on Kudoz :)
