Alexithymia, the difficulty in expressing feeling in words is a situation that shows personality characteristics as difficulty of description and understanding of feeling, limitation of imagination and operational thinking. It is suggested that alexithymic people know their psychologic reality lens than the other people. In the present study, the frequency and presentation of depression, anxiety and alexithimia were searched in 50 epileptic patients, in regard to 60 healthy controls. Sociodemographical psychological and clinical differences between alexithymic and non-alexithymic cases were, also, revised. The patients were assessed with sociodemographic data form, Beck depression Inventory (BDI), State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I and II), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS), Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). TAS, BDI and STAIII points in epileptic group were higher than those of other group. BDI and STAI-1 points in secondary generalized epileptic group were higher than the other group. TAS points two or more in moth seizure were higher than those of the other group. Both psychopathologic level and alexithymic characteristics of epileptic patients are significantly higher according to control group independent on seizure type. Neglecting the alexithymic characterictics of epileptic patients may cause faults in study made according to the results of the tests.
