Proposed translations
uitgelatenheid of opgewek
- feeling jolly and jovial and full of good humor
hiper
andersins ook 'freneties', maar beslis nie 'vrolik' nie - dit dui gewoonlik 'n tydperk van intense aktiwiteit onder bv. manies-depressiewe pasiënte aan maar is nie altyd aan werklik gelukkiger (vroliker) emosies gekoppel nie.

Sien kommentaar by jou ander vraag: 'eufories' kan dalk werk?

Ervaar verligting van swaarmoedigheid
it my be said that: "a person is high on a drug trip". translated to afrikaans could read: "die persoon is hoogs bedwelm en verkeer in 'n waan"
in another sentence : "the person suffering from depressionmay experience a high after taking his meds will read translated as: Die depressie-lyer ervaar verligting van swaarmoedigheid nadat medikasie geneem is
