A member asked:
Are there any conditions opposite of bipolar (where mood rarely fluctuates)? if so, what are the full set of symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flat Affect?: Flat affect: the absence or near absence of emotional response to a situation that normally elicits emotion. It is observed in schizophrenia and some depressive disorders. There can be many reasons a person does not exhibit normal mood fluctuations. Anyone exhibiting flat affect should be seen by a licensed therapist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Best wishes.
