Detailed explanation-1: -What is the id? The id is the primitive and instinctive component of personality. The id is a part of the unconscious that contains all the urges and impulses, including what is called the libido, a kind of generalized sexual energy that is used for everything from survival instincts to appreciation of art.
Detailed explanation-2: -The id is what drives our needs and desires, and the superego strives for morality and perfection. The ego is the mediator between the two that tries to fulfill the needs of the id and the superego while accounting for the demands of reality.
Detailed explanation-3: -The subconscious mind consists of: long-term memory. emotions and feelings. habit and behaviour patterns.
Detailed explanation-4: -The id and superego are in constant conflict, because the id wants instant gratification regardless of the consequences, but the superego tells us that we must behave in socially acceptable ways. Thus, the ego’s job is to find the middle ground.
