The unconscious and its effects in everyday life
Keywords:
unconscious; psychoanalysis; daily life; repetition; desire; mental healthAbstract
AbstractThe article examines how the unconscious manifests and shapes human behavior in daily life. Drawing on Freud, Lacan, and contemporary authors, it argues that the unconscious operates through slips, dreams, repetitive choices, and psychosomatic symptoms. Integrating psychoanalytic theory with health statistics, the paper highlights the ethical and social relevance of acknowledging unconscious processes for mental well-being.
