psychoanalyzed
Underwent Freudian treatment
Psychoanalyzed is the past tense of psychoanalyze, meaning to treat or examine someone using psychoanalysis—the method developed by Freud that explores unconscious thoughts, childhood experiences, and repressed emotions to understand psychological problems.
In casual use, it often describes any deep probing into someone's motives or mental state: Stop trying to psychoanalyze me; I just don't like olives.
The term can carry a slightly dismissive tone when used outside clinical settings.
