What is the definition or description of: euphoria?

7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

"it's all good": Euphoria generally means a state of great happiness or well-being. In non-medical contexts, it's wonderful to feel euphoric. "peak experiences" involving spirituality, family, or nature can lead to euphoria. However, euphoria may also occur artificially, as a drug effect, or as a result of brain injury or mania. In these cases euphoria may point to the need to treat an underlying disorder.
