The Neurotic Constitution

The Neurotic Constitution is a concept from psychoanalysis describing a personality type prone to experiencing internal conflicts, anxiety, and emotional distress. It suggests that certain individuals have a predisposition—due to their temperament, early experiences, or unresolved psychological issues—that makes them more susceptible to nervous tension, fears, and maladaptive reactions. While not a diagnosis, it highlights how some people's emotional patterns are shaped by complex, underlying psychological factors, influencing how they perceive and respond to life's stresses. Understanding this helps in addressing emotional difficulties through appropriate therapy or support.
