Alexithemia is a word used to describe "people who have difficulties recognizing, processing, and regulating emotions." Alexithemia is considered to be a personality trait, not a mental disorder. Alexithemia occurs in more males than females. Alexithemia occurs frequently with other disorders such as autism spectrum disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)[1]
The Toronto Alexithymia Scale is frequently used to assess a patient's degree of alexithemia.[2]
The higher percentage of alexithemia in males as compared with females and the occurrence of it with other disorders associated with non-therapeutic infant circumcision such as autism spectrum disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder suggest that infant circumcision may be a contributing factor.
Bollinger & Van Howe (2011) conducted a preliminary survey of 300 men.[3]
