reduced affect display

There's so much hate in this world versus just connection and acceptance of, you know, differences and diversity.

right so all that just festers and we see the long-term effects and chronic health concerns later in life as as those things are suppressed or avoided or even even the emotional emotional numbness and disconnection that happens with men over time especially like first responders and military because sometimes what they see even emergency room personnel right they see it they see it they see it and after a while It's just, yeah, another day at the job.

They lose the connection.

They become desensitized to these things.

And, uh, and-

...

so that's, that's kind of the point.

Uh, because when we boost serotonin, uh, yes, we will diminish negative affect, but we may also compromise positive affect.

Exactly.

And therefore, differentiation of these two phenomena, anhedonia versus emotional blunting, becomes very important in clinical practice.

Mm-hmm.
