在一项为期6个月的随访研究中，对26例惊恐障碍和24例社交恐怖症患者的述情障碍的变化进行了研究。惊恐障碍（54%）和社交恐惧症（58%）组的平均年龄均高于健康人（15%）。治疗后，惊恐障碍和社交恐怖症患者的述情障碍结构中的情感识别困难和情感描述困难得分显著降低。两组述情障碍指标的总体下降与焦虑的减少显著相关，但与抑郁无关。结果提示，与焦虑相关的继发述情障碍在惊恐障碍和社交恐怖症患者中作为一种状态反应存在。Copywright（C）1997 by W.B.桑德斯公司
In a 6-month follow-up study, a change in alexithymia was examined in two samples of 26 patients with panic disorder and 24 patients with social phobia, Before psychiatric treatment, the prevalence rate of alexithymia, measured by the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), was higher for both panic disorder (54%) and social phobia (58%) groups than for healthy persons (15%). After treatment, scores on the alexithymia constructs of difficulty identifying feelings and difficulty describing feelings significantly decreased in panic disorder and social phobia patients. The overall decrease in measures of alexithymia in both groups was significantly related to reduction in anxiety, but not depression. The results suggest that secondary alexithymia related to anxiety exists as a state reaction in patients with panic disorder and social phobia. Copywright (C) 1997 by W.B. Saunders Company.
