Dysphoria (semantically the opposite of euphoria) is medically recognized as a cognitive and emotional state in which a person experiences intense feelings of discomfort and unhappiness, and is often accompanied by strong feelings of anxiety and depression.[1] Technically, dysphoria is an effect,[2] but the term is often colloquially used to define emotion and an intense state of melacholic unhappiness combined with an overwhelming sense of discomfort and malaise."
In terms of drug usage, many substances induce states of dysphoria regardless of the person's previous emotional state. These feelings can range from mild senses of negativity to overwhelmingly uncomfortable dysphoria.
