Doubt is one of the characteristics of human thought and cognitive disorders that originate from
lack of awareness and if persisted, can lead to anxiety and obsessive behavior. Religious affairs
are inherently "mysterious" and, accordingly, are always subject to doubt, anxiety, and obsession.
This research, which has been done analytically-comparatively and with regard to psychological
findings, shows that the obsession of religious people in Judaism and Shi'sm is partly due to the
"mystery" of the sacred and partly due to interpretations of anxiety. The motivation of some
religious people originates from the sacred texts. From an intra-religious point of view, evil
instincts also contribute to obsessive-compulsive disorder and can lead to abnormal behaviors in
cleansing the body of blood and feces or reciting prayers. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is
treated in ways such as changing the sufferer's attitude toward sacred things, correcting and
softening anxious interpretations of sacred texts, and raising awareness about the role of demons.
Of course, the use of pseudo-religious methods (traditional medicine) or referring to
psychotherapy centers is also common.
