Background: The aim of this study is to examine alexithymia, psychological resilience, and sychiatric symptoms in patients with persistent complex bereavement disorder. Materials and Methods: A total of 62 participants were included in the study, 31 subjects diagnosed with PCBD and 31 healthy controls. Participants were administered the socio-demographic data form, Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). Results: BAI (p<0.001), BDI (p<0.001), and TAS-20 (p<0.001) scale scores were found to be significantly higher in the patient group than in the control group. All sub-dimensions of the RSA scale total score were found to be significantly lower between both groups (p <0.001). The anxiety, depression, and lexithymia levels of the patients diagnosed with persistent complex bereavement disorder were significantly higher than the control group; psychological resilience levels were found to be significantly lower. Conclusions: We believe that identifying this situation will shape the psychosocial support to be given to individuals in the pathological mourning process
