What is it about?

It was Freudian psychoanalysis that demonstrated the psychiatric unbalance with three psychological elements, the unconscious/preconscious/conscious in topographic theory, and id/ego/super-ego in structural theory. It was aimed to review the scientific neuropsychoanalysis for psychiatric unbalance. It was supplemented by Cai the reticular noradrenergic(NA), serotonergic(5-HT), acetylcholinergic(ACh) and later dopaminergic(DA) systems to depression and anxiety for Freudian topographic theory, while the reticular DA and ACh systems to schizophrenia and dementia for structural theory. It was termed these reticular systems altogether as the new element “reticula" for neuropsychoanalysis, while it was classified the neuropsychoanalysis into six elements as aversion/motivation/perception/behavior/memories/reticula, unified for depression, anxiety and schizophrenia. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the rapid eye movement(REM) sleep processed emotional memories and resulted in atonia, shifting the emotional balance toward depression by atonic drive dissipation, supporting Freudian topographic theory, while the slow wave sleep(SWS) ameliorated anxiety/depression and supplemented a new half story of neuropsychoanalysis the Freudian psychoanalysis neglecting.

Why is it important?

It is convenient to demonstrate the psychiatric unbalance via interactions/conflicts of six elements as aversion/motivation/perception/behavior/memories/reticula, diagnosing abnormalities in such processes as reticular regulation, sleep function, muscular tension, microglial activity and so on, impairing either emotional balance or learning correction in psychiatric patients.
