Freud (Sigmund Freud)

Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a method for treating mental illness and understanding human behavior. He proposed that our thoughts and actions are influenced by unconscious desires and conflicts, often rooted in childhood experiences. Freud introduced concepts like the id, ego, and superego to explain the mind's structure, and he emphasized the importance of dreams in revealing our hidden feelings. His ideas, though controversial, have significantly impacted psychology, therapy, literature, and culture, shaping how we think about personality, motivation, and mental health today.
