"Melancholics are simultaneously characterized by increased anxiety and a tendency to deep emotions. They often have anxiety and depressive disorders or a mixed anxiety-depressive state," the expert continued.

According to the psychiatrist, phlegmatic people are more stable emotionally, but hidden feelings, emotions and resentments affect physical health, provoking stroke, heart attack, high blood pressure. The risk of cancer also increases.

"Sanguine people are easy-going about life's difficulties, but they often take on a lot of tasks and sometimes can't handle the workload. Therefore, neurasthenia is characteristic of them: fatigue accumulates, little strength, sleep is disrupted," Vilkov explained.

The psychiatrist advises choleric people to master self—regulation techniques, melancholic people to learn how to manage emotions and work with negative thoughts, phlegmatic people to understand and express their feelings, sanguine people to work with stress management techniques.
