In this article, I would like to talk about personalities that are prone to chronic fatigue syndrome.
Do you know your personality?
It may sound like fortune-telling, but knowing your personality plays an important role in your mental health. If you don't know, or if you're just wondering what it is, try to figure out your personality.
In psychology, the Big Five test is one of the most used methods of confirmation, so it is a useful way to check your personality if you are referring to various studies.
The study I'm going to introduce is one that investigated the relationship between personality traits and chronic fatigue syndrome.
If you are one of them, you may want to take some measures.
Details of the study
The study participants were an unwellness survey in urban and rural populations in metropolitan Georgia conducted between September 2004 and July 2005.
The survey screened approximately 3,000 metropolitan households, approximately 4,000 urban dwellings, and approximately 5,000 dwellings in rural areas using random digit dialing.A total of 5,623 individuals aged 18-59 years were interviewed by in-depth telephone interviews and identified as "fine," "not feeling well," or "not feeling well" with response rates of 56, 67, and 71 percent, respectively.
Based on the responses in the in-depth telephone interview, the subjects entering the 1-day clinical assessment were.
(1) Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
(2) Chronic Illness
Of those who met the criteria for the CFS group, 469 volunteers were eligible for the clinical assessment based on an in-depth telephone interview, and 292 (62%) completed the clinical assessment.
Based on match with CFS eligibility for age (±3 years), gender, race/ethnicity, and geographic demographics, 481 individuals were invited to participate, and 223 (46%) completed the clinical assessment.
Of the chronically unwell (with at least one of the four most common symptoms defining CFS over 6 months: fatigue, cognitive impairment, brisk sleep, and myalgia or arthralgia), 505 were randomly selected.
Subsequently UM, Jones JF, Linn JM, Maloney E, Reeves WC, Heim C. Personality traits and personality disorders in chronic fatigue syndrome: a population-based study. Psychother Psychosom. 2010; 79(5): 312-318. doi: 10.1159/0003. 10.1159 / 000319312
Conclusion.
The most likely personalities to fall into the chronic fatigue syndrome category are those who have been diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and those who have a high tendency to be perfectionists, which is more likely to cause symptoms.
The Big Five test mentioned above does not reveal these two traits, but those with high neuroticism traits should be considered to be in this category.
Conclusion
One thing that is somewhat hard to take for granted is that
There were no people who met the diagnostic criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome.
→There were no people who met the diagnostic criteria for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
It is unclear whether people with these personality traits have a higher risk of developing chronic fatigue syndrome, even if they do not currently have the problem. The correlation between the two is unknown.
There are some things to consider.
However, if a person has neurotic tendencies, is a perfectionist, and is known to have obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, there is a possibility that he or she may have chronic fatigue syndrome.
Although it is believed that personality traits can be acquired, it would be more constructive to take measures against fatigue, etc., rather than feel discomfort and loss of identity due to unreasonable changes.
The cause! However, since the cause of the problem is your own personality, it may also be a denial of your own personality.
No one is happy to have their personality denied, so if you have chronic fatigue syndrome, how can you deal with it? So, if you have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, how about thinking about how you can deal with it?
