'''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 posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)<ref>{{REFweb
