World distribution of multiple sclerosis: greater prevalence in higher northern and southern latitudes. In the US, the number of people with MS is estimated to be about 400,000, with approximately 10,000 new cases diagnosed every year (thatâs 200 new cases per week).
Blunted affect refers to a reduction in the intensity of an individual's emotional response. The emotional response of an individual with blunted affect is a lot weaker than one would expect in similar circumstances. Imagine that you got a phone call and were told that you had just won the lottery.
I think it's possible for a person to hide/mask their emotions, from what is described in the blunted affect. I am looking for help in describing a person who can't feel emotions similar to Anhedonia (a type of inability). â SaultDon Oct 14 '11 at 16:34.
