Faktor-faktor Penyebab Alexithymia pada Remaja: Literature Review
Abstract
The cases of alexithymia in adolescents in Indonesia increasingly occur. The impact of alexithymia, certainly, significantly affects the quality of life of a teenager. Alexithymia is not a mental disorder, but a phenomenon that can be one of the symptoms of certain mental disorders, thus making the sufferers unable to recognize, feel and identify their emotions. This study aims to determine the factors that cause alexithymia in adolescents. The method used in this study is a literature review concerning alexithymia as the theme. The article search sources were accessed from PubMed and Google Scholar library sources, limiting the years of article publication between 2015-2022. The result of this study is that there are number of factors causing alexithymia, including psychogenic factors (attachment styles, trauma, and chronic illness or pain); biogenic factors (prenatal substances or poisons, and brain structure); primary alexithymia factors (personality); as well as secondary alexithymia factors (stress, anxiety, and fatigue).
