Overview

Analysis shows no correlation between alexithymia and attachment style, highlighting Alexithymia's impact on bipolar episodes.

Key Points

  • Alexithymia is associated with an increased frequency of bipolar episodes, influencing clinical evolution.
  • Significant correlation (r=0.907, p<0.05) exists between alexithymia levels and the number of illness episodes.
  • A sample of 31 subjects with bipolar disorder assessed using Toronto Alexithymia Scale and Adult Attachment Scale.
  • Educational level showed an inverse correlation with alexithymia but was not statistically significant.
