Erikson's theory of psychosocial development includes the crisis of identity versus identity confusion during adolescence. If an adolescent becomes withdrawn and isolated or loses their sense of identity, they may be experiencing identity confusion. This is different from identity foreclosure, which is when an adolescent prematurely adopts an identity without exploring other options, moratorium, which is when an adolescent is actively exploring different identities, or diffusion, which is when the adolescent has no clear sense of identity and has not explored options.
