And what if one has been bouncing back and forth between both poles for so long that you no longer "know" what euthymia -really- is?!
I'm not trying to be facetious, I recently asked my pdoc this one. Because when I last returned to "euthymia" I was told the rapture that I felt when I returned to my art work was natural, normal for one who had lived in depression for so long. A month later my pdoc told me: "if you owned a gun I'd have you committed." -evidently manic. So was that rapture euthymia or hypomania?
For some of us euthymia seems more like Purgatory...
