To study the structure and manifestations of alexithymia in women with depressive disorders of various genesis and severity of psychosocial maladaptation, 252 women suffering from depressive disorders, 94 of whom had psychogenic depression (F43.21), 83 women with affective disorders of endogenous nature (F32.0, F32.1, F32.2, F32,3; F33.0, F33.1, F33.2, F33.3; F31.3, F31.4, F31.5), and 75 people have organic depression (F06.3) was surveyed. The study was conducted using clinical-psychopathological and psychodiagnostic methods. It is established that patients with signs of maladaptation had a higher level of alexithymia, both in its individual components and overall severity, compared not only with patients without signs of maladaptation, but also with normative indicators of patients with psychosomatic pathology or neurotic disorders, by the authors of the method testing. However, alexithymic manifestations are highest in patients with organic depression, slightly smaller in patients with endogenous depression, and the lowest in patients with psychogenic depression. The identified patterns should be taken into account when developing treatment and rehabilitation and prevention measures for patients with depression. ER -
