"神经症是自我与本我之间冲突的结果。"

Simplified Meaning:

When a person's mind is pulled in two different directions, it can create a lot of stress and worry. Imagine you want to eat a big piece of cake because it tastes good (that's your id talking), but you also know that you should be on a diet to stay healthy (that's your ego talking). The struggle between wanting the cake and knowing you shouldn't eat it makes you feel nervous and uneasy. This inner battle between what you want and what you think is right can make you feel anxious and troubled. To avoid feeling this way, it's important to find a balance or come up with a compromise that keeps both sides happy, like allowing yourself a small piece of cake occasionally. By doing this, you reduce inner conflict and feel calmer and more at peace.
