Which mood is described as feeling great, as if one just won the lottery?

• A. Expansive Mood
• B. Euphoric Mood
• C. Blunted Affect
• D. Flat Affect

Answer: (B)

Euphoric mood is an intense, elevated mood marked by extreme happiness and a sense of well‑being, which fits feeling “great” as if you just won the lottery. This level of elation goes beyond ordinary happiness and is a classic descriptor in mania/hypomania contexts, capturing that vivid, buoyant state. Expansive mood involves broad enthusiasm and increased sociability, but the core cue here is the radiantly positive internal feeling, not necessarily outward overtness or social expansiveness. Blunted and flat affects describe diminished or unvarying facial and emotional expression, which contradicts the described exuberance.
