Which mood is characterized by elevated mood with increased energy?

• A. Mood
• B. Depressed mood
• C. Euphoric mood
• D. Anxious mood

Answer: (C)

Euphoric mood is an abnormally elevated or expansive mood accompanied by increased energy and activity. It goes beyond ordinary happiness, often with a sense of well‑being, confidence, and trying to do more or take on new tasks, which is characteristic of mania or hypomania. This combination of elevated affect and higher energy distinguishes it from a depressed mood (low energy and sadness) or an anxious mood (worry and arousal). A neutral or baseline mood wouldn’t show the same sustained elevation and energy.
