Answer:

compulsions

Step-by-step explanation:

Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts that a person feels driven to accomplish. They are intended to reduce anxiety or even prevent something awful from happening. They usually bring no pleasure and only momentary relief from anxiety. They are usually a part of an OCD diagnosis.
