   • The bottom line

   Euthymia is a state of living without mood disturbances commonly associated with bipolar disorder. While in a euthymic state, you typically have feelings of cheerfulness and tranquility, as well as an increased level of resiliency to stress.

   One way of understanding a euthymic mood is to think of it in terms of the severity of the symptoms. If depression is on one end of the bipolar disorder continuum and mania is at the other end, euthymia lies somewhere in the middle. That’s why you can think of euthymic as living in a state of “normal” or “stable” moods.

   Being able to identify a euthymic mood is important when trying to distinguish between states of mania or depression, and states of calm and steady moods. When you’re in a euthymic mood, you’ll likely experience periods of calmness and happiness.

   Euthymia is dramatically different from the periods of sadness and hopelessness that you feel when experiencing depression, or the extreme peaks of energy you experience when in a state of mania.

   While the experience of euthymia varies from person to person, some of the more common signs that you’re in a euthymic mood include feeling:

   •calm

   Bipolar disorder is a chronic mental illness, which means there’s no cure. Because of this, you’ll often need to work with your doctor and therapist to manage your symptoms. Treating bipolar disorder includes assessing euthymic moods.

   Since the moods associated with bipolar disorder range from depression to mania, with euthymia in the middle, it’s essential to include this middle or steady state in an overall treatment plan for bipolar disorder. Documenting the amount of time spent in a normal state — not just in depression or mania — can help direct your type of treatment.

   Standard treatment options for bipolar disorder include medication, psychotherapy (talk therapy), and lifestyle changes.

   Medications

   There are several medications available for treating bipolar disorder including mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, antidepressants, and in some cases, benzodiazepines.

   If you’re part of the population living with bipolar disorder, you know all too well how the full range of moods can affect your daily life. From the low periods of depression to the high states of mania, managing these ups and downs can feel like a never-ending battle.

   With that said, taking the time to assess, understand, and manage the “middle” or euthymic mood that many people with bipolar disorder spend half of their time in, may help with developing coping strategies to manage the symptoms of bipolar disorder.
