Euthymia (medicine)

In psychiatry and psychology, euthymia is a normal, tranquil mental state or mood.[1] People with mood disorders, including major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder, experience euthymia as a stable mood state that is neither depressive nor manic. Achieving and maintaining euthymia is the goal of treatment for bipolar patients in particular.[2]
