Sigmund Freud (neurologist)

Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist known as the founder of psychoanalysis. He developed theories about the mind, suggesting that unconscious feelings, desires, and memories influence our thoughts and behaviors. Freud introduced concepts like the id, ego, and superego to explain how personality is structured. He also explored how childhood experiences impact adult mental health. His work helped shape modern understanding of mental processes and therapy, emphasizing talking through unconscious conflicts to achieve psychological well-being. While some ideas are debated or evolved over time, Freud’s contributions significantly influenced psychology and psychiatry.
