Summary Introduction

Concept introduction:

There is a difference between mood and affect. Mood indicates an individual’s internal, subjective emotional experience over an extended time period, whereas affect refers to an immediate outward expression of emotion. An individual’s well-being can be positively or negatively impacted by their affect, which can consist of gait and posture. Clinicians assess the mood and affect of their client(s) during therapy sessions, but this type of assessment can occur in most any facet of life.
