Jungian Personality Types and Mental Health Risk

This essay explores a possible connection between Jungian personality types and mental health risks. It presents a chart that suggests intuitive introverts, particularly INFJ, INFP, INTJ, and INTP, are at higher risk for a variety of mental health issues including suicide, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), major depressive disorder (MDD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The document also proposes that intuitive types generally, due to their preference for abstract thinking and imaginative exploration, might be more prone to certain mental health challenges. The author suggests that although the data presented isn’t derived from rigorous methodology, it could be valuable for future research. By investigating the correlations between Jungian personality types and mental health risks, researchers could potentially improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health issues. The document concludes by advocating for a more open-minded approach to exploring the potential of Jungian psychology in the field of mental health.
