<unk>  may not be as outwardly obvious as other psychiatric symptoms. Patients diagnosed with<unk>  have reduced ability to express emotion, to empathize with others or to form powerful<unk>  connections. Patients are also at an increased risk for many anxiety and stress disorders. This can lead to difficulties in creating and maintaining personal relationships. The person may move elsewhere in their mind and appear preoccupied or "not entirely present", or they may seem fully present but exhibit purely intellectual behavior when<unk>  behavior would be appropriate. They may have a hard time being a loving family member, or they may avoid activities, places, and people associated with past traumas. Their dissociation can lead to lack of attention and, hence, to memory problems and in extreme cases, amnesia. In some cases, they present an extreme difficulty in giving or receiving empathy which can be related to the spectrum of narcissistic personality disorder. Additionally,<unk>  blunting is negatively correlated with remission quality. The negative symptoms are far less likely to disappear when a patient is experiencing<unk>  blunting. In children (ages 4–12 were studied), traits of aggression and antisocial behaviors were found to be correlated with<unk> . Researchers determined that these could be early signs of<unk> , suggesting parents and clinicians to evaluate children with these traits for a higher behavioral problem in order to avoid bigger problems (such as<unk>  in the future. A correlation was found of higher<unk>  blunting among patients treated with depression who scored higher on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale and were male (though the frequency difference was slight).<unk>  in small amounts is normal. For example, being able to<unk> ly and psychologically detach from work when one is not in the workplace is a normal behavior.<unk>  becomes an issue when it impairs a person's ability to function.
