Why “euthymia” is a great word
A state of stable, balanced mental well-being, free from the extremes of depression or mania. From Ancient Greek εὐθυμία (euthumía), from εὖ (eû, "well") + θυμός (thumós, "soul, spirit, mind, passion"). Unlike euphoria, which flares with fleeting brightness, or dysthymia, which drags through a fog of persistent sorrow, euthymia is the steady hum of equilibrium. It is the unremarkable clarity of a clean windowpane, the warmth of tea held in both hands, the silence of a body that has ceased its anxious humming—the profound, unsung achievement of a mind coasting peacefully on level ground.
