Sigmund Freud’s Neurosis Theory

1. Neurosis: Ek Civilized Insaan Ki Minimum Price

Neurosis ek aisi mental condition hai jo ek civilized samaj mein rehne ki minimum cost hai.

Freud ka maanna tha ki jaise-jaise insaan sabhyata (civilization) ke rules aur norms ko follow karta hai, uske andar anxiety, frustration aur repression badhne lagta hai – jiska nateeja hota hai: neurosis.

2. Freud Ka Medical aur Psychology Mein Zabardast Yogdaan

Pehle abnormal behavior ko supernatural maana jaata tha – jaise bhoot, pret, jin.

Freud ne kaha ki yeh sab kuch insaan ke andar chhupi hui psychological problems ka result hai.
Unhone magic healing ko hataakar scientific healing introduce ki. Jaise Harvey ne blood circulation ka law diya, waise Freud ne unconscious mind ka concept diya.

3. Freud Ne Teen Tarah Ki Abnormalities Batayi

🔹 A. Anxiety Neurosis – Jab Chinta Chhupi Nahi Rehti

Insaan baar-baar chintit, ghabraaya, stressed mehsoos karta hai.

Psychosomatic effect: Blood pressure badhta hai, heartbeat tez ho jaati hai.
Ye disorder aam hai, lekin kaafi distress create karta hai.

🔹 B. Psychosis – Jab Reality Distort Ho Jaati Hai

Yahan insan ka perception bigad jaata hai – jaise delusion aur illusion.

• Delusion: Real stimulus hota hai, par interpretation galat.
  Example: “Dhoti latak rahi hai, par lagta hai meri tayi ka bhoot hai.”
• Illusion: Imagination se kuch bhi dikhne lagta hai.
  Example: Andhere mein shadow ko bhoot samajhna.

🔹 C. Characterological Disorders – Jab Character Hi Problematic Ho

Sexual perversion, nudity-related behavior jaise conditions isme aate hain.

4. Freud Ka Observation: India vs America

Freud ki beti ne likha:

“America mein abnormal logon ko asylum bhej dete hain. India mein unhe devta maan ke pooja jaata hai.”

Ek aadmi bole – “Main Shiv ka avatar hoon”
Log bole – “Dhan ho Baba!”
Freud ke nazariye se – yeh abnormality hai, spirituality nahi.

5. Freud Ne Approx 20,000 Patients Ko Diagnose Kiya Tha Apne Lifetime Mein

Freud ne har tarah ke patient ka treatment kiya – delusion, neurosis, perversion, psychosis, etc.

Unka maana tha ki unconscious mind mein chhupi hui suppressed desires hi har abnormality ki jad hai.

📚 6. Freud Ne Psychology Se Philosophy Tak Ka Safar Kiya

Jab unhone dekha ki itne saare log mentally disturbed ho rahe hain, toh unhone apni clinic band karke “Psychoanalytic Philosophy of Life” develop ki.

📖 7. Civilization and its Discontents – Sabhyata Aur Manasik Dard

Freud kehte hain:

“Primitive log mentally disturbed nahi hote, kyunki unke upar koi repression nahi hota.”

Jaise-jaise sabhyata aati hai, hum sexual aur biological desires ko repress karte hain.
Yeh repression hi neurosis ka reason hai.

• Id – Biological urges (sex, hunger, etc.)
• Ego – Reality check karta hai
• Superego – Society ke rules aur moral values ko enforce karta hai

Jab ego dono taraf se dabaav mein hota hai – id aur superego ke beech – toh anxiety paida hoti hai.

🎯 8. Freud Ka Final Conclusion:

“Neurosis is the price we pay for being civilized.”

“Manushya jitna civilised hota hai, utna hi repressed hota hai – aur isi repression se paida hoti hai uski mental illness.”
