manied adquire alguma mania (se não for erro ortográfico)

Explanation:
A minha resposta se aplica caso realmente não seja um erro ortográfico:

Pode ser que o autor tenha inovado e criado um verbo a partir de "mania", já que não existe esta forma verbal. Se o texto se referir a transtornos psicológicos, pode ser o caso.

ma·ni·a (mā'nē-ə, mān'yə) Pronunciation Key
n.
An excessively intense enthusiasm, interest, or desire; a craze: a mania for neatness.
Psychiatry A manifestation of bipolar disorder, characterized by profuse and rapidly changing ideas, exaggerated sexuality, gaiety, or irritability, and decreased sleep.
Violent abnormal behavior. See Synonyms at insanity.

mania

c.1400, "mental derangement characterized by excitement and delusion," from L.L. mania "insanity, madness," from Gk. mania "madness," related to mainesthai "to rage, go mad," mantis "seer," menos "passion, spirit," all from PIE *men- "to think, to have one's mind aroused, rage, be furious" (see mind (n.)). Sense of "fad, craze" is 1689, from Fr. manie. Used since 1500s (in imitation of Gk.) as the second element in compounds expressing particular types of madness (cf. nymphomania, 1775; kleptomania, 1830; megalomania, 1890).
