<upd_detl>Both used to describe genuine mental health issues (often depression), but also in a hyperbolic way of "I'm feeling down."</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>In common parlance, the 3rd meaning is arguably the most common when used in isolation (metaphorical "illness of the heart/mind" rather than literal sickness.) A Google search for 病んでる shows articles like this (the first article notes the modern usage of 病む):
https://sanyokai-clinic.com/kokoro/4139/
https://uruoi-clinic.jp/mental-column/mental-clinic/how-to-deal-with-mental-illness/

Entries already exist that are derived from sense 3: ヤンデレ (病んでる+デレデレ、mentally ill while also madly in love) and 病み垢 (social media account where someone dumps their negative feelings).</upd_refs>
