Euphoria (semantically the opposite of dysphoria) is medically recognized as a cognitive and emotional state in which a person experiences intense feelings of well-being, elation, happiness, excitement, and joy.[1] Technically, euphoria is an effect,[2] but the term is often colloquially used to define emotion and an intense state of transcendent happiness combined with an overwhelming sense of contentment. It has also been defined as an "affective state of exaggerated well-being or elation."[3]

In terms of drug usage, many substances induce states of euphoria regardless of the person's previous emotional state. These feelings can range from mild senses of positivity to overwhelming emotional bliss.
