I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'unhealthy passion' is the definition.
'erotomania' can be an answer for 'passion' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'unhealthy' bit.

'european country admitting to' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'country' becomes 'romania' (European country).
'admitting' indicates putting letters inside (admit can mean to welcome in or accept).
'romania' placed around 'to' is 'rotomania'.
'e'+'rotomania'='EROTOMANIA'

Can you help me to learn more?
