Obsessential disorder is mainly divided into three types. One is mainly based on compulsive thinking, which means that you always think and think about one or several things repeatedly. You know it is not necessary, but you can't control yourself; the other is mainly based on compulsive behavior, such as repeated examinations and repeated washing of hands, knowing that it is not necessary, but you can't control it; the third is the manifestation of compulsive thinking and compulsive behavior at the same time. Generally speaking, if there are both compulsive thinking and compulsive behaviors, compulsive thinking appears first, and compulsive behavior is secondary to compulsive thinking. For example, if the patient feels that his hands are not clean, he also knows that his hands are not dirty, but he just feels that they are not clean. This is the patient's inner thinking. What should I do if my hands are not clean? Secondary compulsive behavior will occur, which is repeated washing of hands. First, there is a thought, then take action, and then it leads to the consequences of compulsiveness. So what are the psychological reasons behind obsessive-compulsive disorder?

Psychoanalysis school believes that everyone's personality structure is composed of the id, self, and superego. Because of the strong superego, the superego represents the power of responsibility, morality, and pursuit of perfection and noble behavior. The id is the original unconscious instinct of human beings, the various physiological needs, sexual and attack instincts, and some innate inherent qualities are hidden in the id. I id pursues the principle of happiness and seeks direct satisfaction, regardless of whether social reality is possible, the id cannot tolerate setbacks and has no control over its own desires. Therefore, the id is illogical, unreasonable, and is not restricted by moral ethics, as well as blind, irrational, selfish and indulgent. The self is a part differentiated from the id and is restricted by reality. The main task of the self is to satisfy the id impulse, but it is carried out in a way that considers the reality of the situation and plays a regulatory role between the id and the superego. On the one hand, it must try its best to meet the requirements of the id, and on the other hand, it is subject to the constraints of the superego. Because patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder have a very powerful superego, their biological instincts are suppressed and their self is in an irreconcilable state of confrontation, so obsessive-compulsive disorder occurs. Because the superego is too strong, it breaks the balance between the self and the self. The self is not strong enough to be able to adapt the relationship between the self and the self. The strong superego causes the patient to have compulsive thinking and behavior to relieve psychological anxiety.

The self, the self and the superego often have conflicts, especially between the superego and the self, and are always in an irreconcilable state of confrontation. Therefore, the self is the key to maintaining unity in the personality structure. For the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, a psychoanalyst will work with the patient to discover his subconscious id and superego, and to coordinate the defense mechanism between the id and superego, so that the balance of the id and superego can be re-established, thereby healing it.
