Yes, studies show that some people who may be at risk for mental illness but do not show any signs can have "triggers" that make their mental illness surface, for instance the death of a close friend can trigger mental illness this works the same way if being bored too much and it affecting your personal well-being, I suggest finding something to do to keep the mind fresh and active.
In the early 1900's the "rest cure" was often prescribed for women who seemed depressed, or were just a little too opinionated for their family's comfort. As you can guess from the name, it consisted of not doing any kind of work, even reading, needle work etc. Sometimes they would be hospitalized to ensure they weren't being active. Many of the women developed much worse psychological symptoms while being treated with the "rest cure."
This also works in reverse. If you are feeling extremely bored, it may be a sign of depression. One of the major signs of depression is not being able to be interested in anything, or not getting any enjoyment from previous interests.
