Euphoria it is a feeling of joy and well-being experienced in circumstances that directly involve the individual or that occur in the environment.
The word "euphoria" originates from the Greek "euphoria", which means "ability to withstand easily", from "euphoros", Where "me" = well and phoros = what carries.
The term euphoria was first used in 1875 to refer to the contentment experienced by morphine addicts.
Even today, the word is often used exclusively in the sense of pathological well-being, constituting a symptom of various mental illnesses. However, a euphoric individual does not always have a problem of a psychic nature.
On the other hand, euphoria should be considered only as an intense and transient joy that does not affect so intensely the state of the psyche, being more intense, shorter, more uncontrolled and more externalized than the feeling of joy.
A feeling of melancholy can easily take the place of a state of euphoria.
Euphoria and Bipolar Disorder
In bipolar disorder, euphoria manifests itself as a state of exalted mood that has nothing to do with the moment experienced by the individual at that moment.
In this phase of bipolar disorder, the person has no reason to be depressed or happy, but is in a euphoric or irritable mood.
Usually, in euphoria, the change in behavior is sudden, although the individual does not notice this change or attributes it to other factors of the moment, losing or harming your critical sense and your ability to objectively assess the situations.
