Abstract: The present work discusses the influence of social isolation as a measure to combat the spread of the Covid-19 virus, its impacts on the postmodern subject, and the expression of neuroses as a result of the conflict between the need for connections and the challenges brought by the Covid-19 pandemic. To understand how certain neurotic elements have emerged, we traced a timeline of the concept of neurosis, starting with Freud, who attributes its establishment to the conflict between sexual impulse and socially imposed morality. The superego, therefore, is sustained, leading to new psychoanalytic proposals that increasingly consider the new structuring of the subject over time, establishing relationships between the socio-economic-moral context and the ways in which these are presented. As a theoretical framework, we explored Zygmunt Bauman's concept of liquid modernity and the characteristics of individuals born in this context, which tend to make them susceptible to neuroses. The research aims to establish connections between the postmodern subject and the presence of neurotic-obsessive behaviors and thoughts in a context where social distancing is necessary. Specifically, we sought to qualify neurotic behaviors in their recurring variations before and during the pandemic, understanding their mechanisms of action and pointing to the hypothesis, to be verified, that social isolation would increase the expression of obsessive-compulsive elements. In this bibliographic investigation, we conducted surveys in the databases of SCIELO, PEPSIC, and Google Scholar, considering descriptors such as Liquid Modernity, Obsession, Compulsion, Covid-19, Social Isolation, and other relevant terms. From this perspective, such a proposition was considered valid and likely, as it is assumed that restricting social contact eliminates opportunities for individuals to avoid confronting their alterities, limiting escape alternatives, and exposing them to neuroses resulting from the absence of intimacy with oneself. This research is justified by its ability to highlight the unique impact that isolation has on the analysis of the subject and the functioning of obsessions.
