The authors conducted a 12-month follow-up study to determine the association between alexithymia and depression in 116 outpatients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and 540 control subjects from the general population. Alexithymia was screened using the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), and depression was assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The results show that the severity of depression was significantly associated with alexithymia. In addition, the BDI scores increased or decreased proportionately with the change in TAS-20 score in both groups. These results lend further support to the idea that alexithymia may be a state-dependent phenomenon.
作者进行了一项为期12个月的随访研究，以确定116名重度抑郁症门诊患者和540名普通人群对照者中述情障碍与抑郁症之间的关联。使用多伦多述情障碍量表（TAS-20）筛查述情障碍，使用贝克抑郁量表（BDI）评估抑郁情况。结果显示，抑郁严重程度与述情障碍显著相关。此外，两组中BDI得分均随TAS-20得分的变化而成比例地增加或降低。这些结果进一步支持了述情障碍可能是一种状态依赖性现象的观点。
