Affect II
Affect II - in psychiatry, a strong and short-term, negative or positive emotion that arises in response to the influence of external or internal factors and is accompanied by somatovegetative manifestations; in some cases, the term is used to refer to emotion in general.
The following types of affects are distinguished:
- Asthenic is a rapidly depleting affect, which is accompanied by a decrease in mental activity, vital tone and well-being, as well as depressed mood;
- Stagnant - a state of increasing anxiety and emotional tension, which do not receive normal discharge in actions and reactions;
- Inadequate - an affect that contradicts or does not correspond to the content of the situation or experience;
- Stenic - characterized by an increase in mental activity, vital tone and well-being, a sense of one's own strength;
- Physiological - a pronounced affect, for example, joy or anger, which is not accompanied by clouding of consciousness, amnesia and automatism.
