Understanding Languishing and Flourishing
Languishing is identified as a state that exists between mental illness and flourishing, characterized by a sense of emptiness and emotional numbness. It describes individuals who function without severe mental health issues but also do not experience true mental well-being. This middle ground highlights the misconception that good mental health equates to the absence of mental illness, thus neglecting individuals who feel stuck in a state of languishing. Addressing this condition is crucial, as remaining in a languishing state can lead to further mental health challenges down the line.
