John, Can your retiring pdoc recommend another pdoc to you?
MA, Your question about what euthymic means struck me as possibly being two questions: what is the literal meaning of the word, and a more philosophical question, how can we possible know how it feels to be euthymic? Euthymia is the state of mood that is not depressed and not manic or elated. Just a good solid mood. I am not sure I have had much of that in my life, that is, good mood with out anxiety.
BTW, I was in Barnes and Noble and was reading from a reference book on childhood disorders, and one of the authors' first names is Euthymia! She is a doc at NIH, I think.
