Obsessive self-love? Come again for treatment! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

egomania

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

'treatment' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'obsessive self-love? come again' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'self' could be 'ego' (synonyms) and 'ego' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'mania' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for egomania that I've seen before include "Obsessive self-interest" , "selfish obsession" , "excessive conceit" , "having no thought for others" , "Obsessive self-conceit" .)
