Euphoria refers to a state of strong, positive emotional well-being and confidence. It is a natural response to personal achievements, but it can also be triggered by certain drugs, such as prolonged use of corticosteroids. However, when euphoria occurs without any rational cause, it may indicate underlying conditions like mania, brain disease, head injury (especially frontal lobe damage), dementia, brain tumors, or multiple sclerosis.
