[edit intro]

Emotion is a state of biological arousal that is described along a spectrum ranging from anxiety to depression, with a non-aroused state of euthymia. It is a complex reaction pattern, produced by some stimulus that involves experiential, behavioral, and physiological elements. ^[1] As a distinct, integrated psychophysiological response system, emotion is described by three distinct response systems ^[2], which include:

a prototypic form of epression (typically facial)
a pattern of consistent autonomic changes
a distinct subjective feeling state
