The Silent Burden: Understanding Alexithymia and Its Correlation With University Student Depression, Anxiety, and Stress in a Cross‐Sectional Study
Identifying alexithymia in medical settings is essential, as it can affect patient-provider communication and care. Students with alexithymic traits may benefit from interventions targeting both alexithymia and co-occurring mental disorders like depression and anxiety. Future research should focus on developing tailored treatments and early screening to improve emotional regulation and mental health outcomes, particularly in high-stress academic environments.
