Euphoria

Euphoria is a state of intense happiness, excitement, or well-being that can be experienced naturally or through certain substances or activities. It involves a surge of positive emotions and often an increase in energy or confidence. In the brain, euphoria results from the release of chemicals like dopamine and endorphins, which activate the reward system and create feelings of pleasure. While it can be a normal response to joyful events or achievements, drug-induced euphoria can sometimes lead to risky behaviors or addiction if it becomes a repeated pursuit.
