Alexithymia is a common problem among patients with PDs and is associated with mental health difficulties and psychosocial dysfunction, with rates varying across PD type and severity. The study demonstrates moderate improvement of alexithymia during treatment in specialized PD mental health services. Further research should evaluate the effectiveness of different treatments and interventions in reducing alexithymia among PD patients
