Alexithymia is a broad term to describe problems with the feelings of emotions. In fact, this Greek term used in Freudian psychodynamic theories translates to "without words for emotions". While the condition is not known, it is estimated that 1 in 10 people have it. People who have alexithymia may describe themselves as having difficulty expressing emotions, such as happiness on a happy occasion. Moreover, others may have trouble identifying their emotions.
Causes
Alexithymia is not well understood. There is a possibility that it may be genetic. The condition can also be the result of brain damage in an area which is known for its role in social skills, sensitivity and emotions.
Link to autism: The symptoms of autism spectrum disorder are widespread, but there are still some stereotypes associated with this condition. A major stereotype is lack of empathy, something that has largely been dismissed. some research shows that half of people with autism also experience alexithymia. In other words, it is alexithymia that causes insensitivity, not autism itself.
Emotions and depression: It is also possible for people to experience alexitism when faced with depression.
Possible trauma: Furthermore, this condition has been observed in people who have experienced trauma, especially during early childhood. Trauma and neglect at this stage can cause changes in the brain that can make it difficult to feel and identify emotions later in life.
