The least neurotic people only cost society about $3,000 a year, but the most neurotic ring up costs of more than $22,000, says a study by VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam, according to Reuters.
That research studied at about 5,500 people and looked at their medical bills as well as they days they were out of work . Researchers used a scale of 14 items to gauge a person’s level of neuroticism, which is which is defined as a tendency toward anxiety, worry and emotional swings.
The study determined that while common mental disorders generate costs of $600 million per million inhabitants, that number was $1.4 billion for those with neuroticism.
