I believe that insanity is the result of unresolved conflicts and repressed memories in the unconscious mind. I believe that mental illnesses and disorders were caused by a variety of factors, including childhood experiences, traumatic events, and unresolved conflicts in the unconscious mind. I also believe that psychoanalytic therapy could help individuals with mental illness by uncovering and resolving these underlying conflicts. I view insanity as a symptom of psychological distress and believe that it could be treated through therapy and self-reflection.
