Psychasthenic is a kind of asthenic in the typology of P.B. Ganushkin.
Like all asthenics, psychasthenics are excitable, sensitive, but quickly get tired and fatigued.
The psychasthenic type determines the propensity for introspection and reflection. Psychasthenics often hesitate in making decisions and cannot bear the high demands and burden of responsibility for themselves and others. Such subjects demonstrate accuracy and prudence, a characteristic feature for them is self-criticism and reliability. They usually have an even mood without sudden changes. In sex, they are often afraid to make a mistake, but in general, their sex life is uneventful.
Psychasthenics do not have somatic disorders, but another quality is added — fearfulness, indecision, doubts about everything. They doubt the present, the future and the past. Often they are overcome by false fears for their lives and for the lives of loved ones. It is very difficult for them to start a business: they make a decision, then retreat, gather strength again, etc. It is difficult for them to make decisions because they doubt the success of any conceived business.
On the other hand, if the psychasthenic has already decided something, then he must implement it immediately; in other words, he is extremely impatient. Constant doubts, indecision and impatience, this is such a paradoxical combination of properties. However, it has its own logic: the psychasthenic rushes things because he fears that something will prevent him from completing his plan; in other words, impatience comes from the same uncertainty.
