Musically Aided Alexithymia (MAA)
Musically Aided Alexithymia (MAA) is an MUD and a subtype of alexithymia where individuals express typical symptoms of alexithymia, but have music-related symptoms as well.
Symptoms include:
A. Being unable to label any feelings that aren't big and obvious (Eg depressive & manic) but knowing they're vaguely 'sad', 'angry', 'happy' etc.
B. Only being able to label said feelings with songs, not that the song talks about a feeling or outright has any obvious tones other than a specific brand of 'sad', 'angry', 'happy' etc that only that song can convey.
B1. Above may be related to 'Feelings-to-music' synesthesia, or vice versa.
