This image shows the neurological exam of an alexithymic individual. The term alexithymia describes the inability to perceive or communicate emotions. Affected individuals are "emotionally blind", so to speak. The phenomenon occurs in various gradations. When strongly developed, alexithymia can make it difficult or impossible to lead a normal, social life.
