The CNS-stimulation action of caffeine elevates mood. This effect was documented in a quote from the will of Dr. William Dunlap, who died in 1848 1 leave John Caddie a silver teapot, to the end that he may drink tea therefrom to comfort him under the affliction of a slatternly wife (Gilbert, 1976, p. 77). The acute mood-elevating effects of caffeine account for much of the popularity that coffee and tea have as morning wake-up beverages. It also has been speculated that many people who are afflicted with significant depression medicate themselves by using caffeine products.
