“…Difficulties in recognizing facially displayed emotions have been described, although it is not clear whether these are independent from alexithymia (Kessler, Schwarze, Filipic, Traue, von Wietersheim, 2006), and whether they are influenced by comorbid psychopathological conditions, such as depression (Mendlewicz, Linkowski, Bazelmans, Philippot, 2005;Manuel & Wade, 2013;Parling, Mortavazi, Gadheri, 2010). Apart from difficulties in the recognition of facial emotions, especially negative ones (i.e., sadness and fear), people with AN may show impairments in the recognition of emotions in voices, both positive and negative (particularly happiness and sadness) (Kucharska-Pietura, Nikolau, Masiak, Treasure, 2004).…”
