to have an affective problem


Explanation:
It depends on the text. If it's specialised psychology, the term "affective" can be used.

"affective" - pertaining to affect.
"affect" - the external expression of emotion attached to ideas or mental representations of objects
(Dorland Medical Dictionary)
