According to Freud, if the psychosexual stages are not navigated properly, it can lead to fixation or regression in a particular stage, which can then result in the development of neuroses. Neurosis refers to a group of mental illnesses characterized by distress, anxiety, and obsessive behavior, often associated with themes from childhood experiences. Therefore, option A is the best choice. B) schizophrenia involves a different set of symptoms and is not associated with the psychosexual stages. C) dissociative amnesia refers to a type of dissociative disorder characterized by memory loss, which is not directly related to the psychosexual stages. D) libido refers to the instinctual energy associated with the sexual drive; it is not an emotional illness or distortion of personality.
