JackD, do you have a link for that study? I'd like to check it out. The dreaded MS euphoria makes me sad and a bit frightened for my future when I see the odd blank smiles on some people with CNS diseases like MS, Alzheimer's etc. Interestingly enough there is information to indicate that although they appear content that isn't a true measure of their mood.

"Hinsie and Campbell6 define euphoria as a morbid or abnormal sense of well-being. Freedman and associates use the term to denote an altered state of consciousness characterized by an exaggerated feeling of well-being inappropriate to apparent events."
