The word "euphoria" is not so common in the texts. But the song of the same name by the singer Lorin thundered throughout Europe. Many have wondered what euphoria is. The meaning of this term can be divided into two areas: everyday and psychiatric. We will start with the everyday, although the concept arose within the framework of science.

Happiness in love

In the everyday sense, the meaning of the word "euphoria" is a very good mood, bliss and bright joy. In the song, Loreen said that love gives her euphoria. But she herself admitted in a personal conversation that she did not experience such a feeling from personal relationships. So not everyone, in principle, is able to feel euphoria in this way. Yes, and it is better not to get involved in the search for this state. Why? Recall that the term is still psychiatric.

Sex or yoga?

Euphoria is a state of emotional uplift, a feeling of boundless joy and carefree happiness. It is most commonly seen in children and not in adults. In adults, it does not appear so often. Under normal conditions, it is felt by a lover who has learned about reciprocity,a winning athlete, a man or a woman after especially good sex, sometimes it is obtained in the process of spiritual practices, but this is a risky path, close to mental illness.

Delightful pleasure

Euphoria is much more common in sick people. This also applies to alcoholics, in the early stages of intoxication, alcohol causes high spirits. However, this ends quickly enough, and few people can limit themselves until alcohol begins to have a depressive effect. That is why a large percentage of suicides occur after alcohol abuse. So if you can't limit yourself to small amounts, don't drink.

Misty Joy

Euphoria is a common condition of drug addicts. Not surprisingly, their brain after the "dose" is similar to the brain of a lover. But the lover changes his state under the influence of emotions and memories, as well as new events. And a person with amphetamine addiction loses the ability to fall in love, his brain requires an increase in the dose. A person drives himself into the captivity of chemical happiness, and it turns out to be difficult for him to refuse, to return to a gray life. It is the discoloration of life, not withdrawal, that scares amphetamine addicts.

Ecstasy as a symptom

Euphoria is a kind of mental illness, but it doesn't usually occur on its own. It can be a symptom of many diseases, such as schizophrenia, cerebrovascular accident, to some extent bipolardisorder. But do not confuse it with the mania characteristic of the latter disease. With mania, there is a thirst for activity (for the most part, stupid). With euphoria, a person is not in a hurry, he “is so good” and he wants to “stop the moment.”

Of course, it's a shame that the state of bliss for a person is normal only for a short time, but still it turns out that a person is generally not created for long-term joy. Euphoria is a rare short happiness. A person comes into the world to solve problems, not just enjoy life. And maybe, like a prize, get euphoria from overcoming the difficulties of life.
