Abstract
Transient feelings of depression are a universal experience, and depressed mood is easy to recognize. The outward expression or affect of depression is on a continuum with normal experience, and even when a depressive state has a known organic precipitant (e.g., reserpine toxicity), the observable change in affect is usually one more of degree than of quality.
