What is Freud's theory of the unconscious mind?

Freud's theory of the unconscious mind posits that a significant part of mental processes are occurring below the level of conscious awareness. He believed that the unconscious mind harbors repressed memories, desires, and experiences, which can influence thoughts and behaviors. This concept is central to his psychoanalytic theory and suggests that bringing these unconscious elements into consciousness can help alleviate psychological distress.
