A fact from Euthymia (medicine) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 17 July 2018 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that euthymia, a state of internal calm and contentment, is a goal of psychiatric intervention?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2018/July. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Euthymia (medicine).

why

why does this page exist? --Lafuerzasindical 08:31, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I can't imagine... I always thought Euthymia is a Greek name. My sister's name is a variation of this name. Alensha 15:08, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

The word meaning basically "in a fair or normal mood" would not make it a bad name. I have heard of girls named "hope" and "faith" that I would consider to be similar names. Its not a bad thing. Names often mean the same thing as something else within our vocabularies.

I think this page exists so that when a normal person gets a copy of a medical report that claims they're "euthymic," they can figure out what the doctor means instead of panicking about having some fatal disease. WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:57, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How is euthymia distinguishable from normal states of emotion in people without diagnosis of BPD or the like? A citation or elaboration would be appreciated -ScorpionSquadron 21:18, 31 Mar 2020

I don't know how to complain about this, but I find it a very disturbing rendering of people with bipolar disorder. The authors cited regarding the claim in the first paragraph that people with bipolar disorder are never "normal" is explicitly made in their article: "However, considerable fluctuations in psychological distress, often subsumed under the rubric of subclinical or residual symptomatology, were recorded in studies with longitudinal designs, suggesting that the illness is always active, even though its intensity may vary. Such findings are consistent with the socioeconomic, psycho- social and clinical deterioration in these patients". This is an opinion based on specious science, and says more about the treatment of the patients in question than it does about the nature of bipolar disorder
