Answer 1

Answer:

D. Identity crisis

In psychology, an identity crisis is a period of confusion and uncertainty about one's sense of self. It's a stage theory of identity development that involves resolving a conflict over eight stages of life. 

Here are some things to know about identity crises: 

• Who experiences them

  Identity crises are common and can happen to people of all ages, but adolescents are most vulnerable. They can also occur during major life changes, such as midlife, retirement, or returning to civilian life. 

• What causes them

  Factors that can contribute to an identity crisis include societal expectations, cultural influences, family dynamics, personal experiences, and existential questions. 

• What they can lead to

  Identity crises can lead to feelings of alienation and depression, which can cause physical and emotional distress over time. 

• How to cope

  Counseling can help people cope with identity crises by increasing self-awareness, enhancing coping skills, improving relationships, and increasing self-esteem. 

German psychologist Erik Erikson coined the term "identity crisis". He believed that adolescence is a crucial turning point in which an individual must develop in one way or another.
