Medical / Patient questionnaire
English term or phrase: flat affect
Is a one-liner, is part of a colum which denotes the different emotional status of a patient:

Tearful
Moody
Anxious
Depressed
Flat Affect

I know what it means, but I cannot come up with the word in Spanish to define it. I am sure it has been asked before, but I could not find it in the glossaries.

Gracias de antemano. ;o) Maria

Pero lo que necesitas es un sustantivo así que sería \"inexpresividad\" o \"apatía\", personalmente estoy empezando a inclinarme por la opción de Gaby...

agree  Leonardo Parachú: creo que sí, pero sería "apatía" como puse en la nota de mi respuesta. Un beso Gaby.
