Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most compulsions are repetitive and excessive behaviors or mental acts that are unreasonable and not connected in a realistic way with the consequences they are intended to prevent or neutralize. Compulsions are often viewed by the person performing them as absurd or senseless but are still difficult to resist due to their crucial role in reducing anxiety or discomfort.
