Alexithymia in radiologically isolated syndrome
The study revealed that one-third of subjects with radiologically isolated syndrome show signs of alexithymia. Interestingly, no cognitive measure was found to be correlated with the level of alexithymia, which is consistent with previous research findings. Alexithymia and mainly difficulty identifying feelings in RIS are associated with depression but also relate to cognitive fatigue and reduced mental quality of life. This could impact the daily interactions of RIS subjects.
