According to Freud's psychosexual stages of development, individuals who are fixated in the oral stage might exhibit oral fixations such as nail-biting and gum-chewing. The oral stage typically occurs from birth to 18 months, during which the focus of pleasure is on the mouth, lips, and tongue. The other stages are less relevant to the behaviors described.
