Do you think your friend has strange behaviors and suspect that there is something wrong with his personality? If so, bring him here we'll put him to the character quiz I've prepared. All you have to do is watch it for a while and record everything you notice for us to discuss together.

The personality - if you do not know - may be disturbed and pretend with the actions, judgments and words of the person, and there are several known disorders with specific features. Of course, we are not a body authorized to diagnose diseases and prescribe medications. Rather, the article is for psychological education and domestication. Only the doctor has the right to make a diagnosis of any disorder.

Let's start with the personality first, before delving into its turmoil.

Personality.. what does this word mean

Before we get into the details of personality disorders, we'll give a simple definition of personality. The word “persona” in Latin means the mask, which people used to wear at parties to hide their faces and appear with the face they desire, so with this mask each person is distinguished from the other, and each of them expresses what is on his mind in the form of the mask they put on. In fact, the definition is close. Personality is the characteristics that distinguish you from others and reflect your behavior, thoughts, feelings, culture and cognitive abilities.

Those characteristics that distinguish you, are not chosen by you, but are formed through heredity, psychological defense mechanisms, family upbringing, and mixing with the environment. We will address Freud's analytical theory as it will help us explain the personalities, a theory that talks in detail about the stages of personality development and its components, and it can be summarized that the psychological system of the personality consists of the ego, the superego, and the id, so what are these components?

The Id: is present since birth and is responsible for the various instincts of food, sex and aggression and constantly demands that his needs be met immediately and without waiting (it is what causes the child to cry for food when he is hungry).

Superego: which means red lines and inhibitions, formed over time from the accumulation of parental observations, society's customs, and religious and moral demands.

Ego: It is the outcome of the balance of the He and the Superego so that the instincts are satisfied but at the appropriate time and within the limits mentioned previously, which is what appears to others.

And let's end talking about the personality by talking about the stages of personality formation. According to Freud, the personality goes through five developmental stages, which are:

Oral stage: It is the first year of life, as its name indicates. The most important thing here is for the child to obtain milk. Therefore, the oral personality is the personality that lacks immature independence dependent on others, such as the infant's dependence on his mother to feed him.

The anal stage: It is the second and third years, it is the stage of learning to hold urine and stool. The anal personality is the stubborn, stubborn, obsessive miser.

Oedipus and Electra complexes: Between the third and sixth year, we find the Oedipus and Electra complexes, meaning the boy’s attachment to his mother and his father’s hatred, and the girl’s attachment to her father and her mother’s hatred.

The stage of dormancy and latency: It extends from six to twelve, where students are directed to academic achievement, forming friendships outside the family, and learning social customs.

The sexual stage “adolescence”: begins with puberty, during which most of the deviations begin.
