mental illness
Definition:
Mental illness in Jungian psychology is seen as a disruption in the balance between conscious and unconscious processes, often resulting from unresolved inner conflicts, unintegrated archetypes, or societal pressures.
Example:
Addressing mental illness involves uncovering its symbolic and unconscious roots, promoting integration and healing. For example, exploring the archetypal themes in depression may reveal a blocked individuation process.
