The Purpose of Depression as a Catalyst for Change
Depression is not merely a pathological condition but an opportunity for significant transformation in an individual's life. Carl Jung and modern psychologists suggest that rather than focusing on the cause of depression, understanding its purpose or telos is crucial. Depression can serve as a signal for the necessity of major life changes, reorganization following a loss, or the exploration of unrealized aspects of an individual's personality.
