An elated mood refers to an intensely elevated,
joyful, or euphoric emotional state that significantly differs from a person's
usual mood. Key features include:
1. **Increased Energy**: Individuals may
experience heightened energy levels, engaging in more activities or tasks than
usual.
2. **Euphoria**: A sense of overwhelming
happiness or excitement, often disproportionate to external circumstances.
3. **Overconfidence**: Exaggerated self-esteem or
grandiosity, where individuals might have unrealistic beliefs about their
abilities or achievements.
4. **Talkativeness**: Rapid and excessive speech,
often jumping from one topic to another.
5. **Decreased Need for Sleep**: Reduced need for
sleep without feeling fatigued, often staying up late or waking up early.
6. **Impulsivity**: Engaging in risky or reckless
behaviors without considering potential consequences.
An elated mood can be a symptom of mood disorders
such as bipolar disorder or hypomania. It’s important to assess if it causes
functional impairment or is part of a broader pattern of symptoms.
