What is the difference between a healthy euphoria and an unhealthy euphoria? Is there such a thing as a happy or elated euthymia (normothymia)? Must elation be the product of mania?

I am not sure that what you felt was euphoria. I think anyone would be elated to have their depression vanish and a kaleidoscopic world of experiential wealth open up anew. Was your reaction to this long-forgotten state of normal consciousness abnormal?

I have experienced euthymia, hypomania, and severe mania. Of these, euthymia felt the best. The euphoria of hypomania did not produce the crystal-clear thinking and sense of reward that euthymia brings me. Is there anything in particular that would lead you to believe that you experienced hypomania?

Whatever it was that you experienced, I hope you experience it again. It sounded healthy to me.
