Freud: Freak of Phenom?

For this question, I'd answer freak. I know that he's obviously important, from the fact that we study him in class, but my personal opinion is that he's a freak. A lot of his ideas are very important contributions to what we know about psychology today, such as the three parts of personality, defense mechanisms, and psychosexual phases. So as far as his research and conttributions, you could consider him a phenom. But, my justification for him being a freak comes from his personal life.
In my opinion, someone's personal life/practices are a good indicator of what kind of person they are. In Freud's case, he had quite an interesting personal life. He studied and practiced hypnotism. He also used cocaine as n expiremental stimulant and anti-depressant. He also later argued that children go through a phase where they fixated on their mother as a sexual object.
