Freud believed that the oral stage (birth to 18 months) is where the roots of depression are formed. This is because during this stage, the infant's primary source of pleasure and satisfaction comes from feeding and oral stimulation, and if their needs are not met in a consistent and nurturing way, it can lead to feelings of helplessness and pessimism that can carry into adulthood.
