Abnormal emotional reactivity in depression: Contrasting theoretical models using neurophysiological data

Several theoretical models of aberrant emotional experiences in depression have been suggested. These models include potentiated reactivity to negatively-valenced stimuli, attenuated reactivity to positively-valenced stimuli, and attenuated emotional reactivity across contexts (termed emotion-context insensitivity). It is unclear if these models apply uniquely to depression or if they can explain other closely related symptoms, such as anxiety...
