Patient's Mood
"Really good."
This patient’s expansive affect ranges from tearful to angry and the speed that she moves from one to the other would be considered labile mobility. Her observed affect would be described as incongruent with her reported mood, “really good.”
Appropriateness
Incongruent: Content of speech does not match thoughts
Range
Expansive: Excessive range of variability
Mobility
Labile: Rapid and abrupt changes in emotional feeling tone, unrelated to external stimuli
