Which term matches the description 'Euphoric, excessively cheerful, high, feeling on top of the world'?

• A. Lability
• B. Mood descriptors
• C. Distractibility
• D. Increased goal-directed activity

Answer: (B)

Describing internal emotional state is what this is about. The words “euphoric, excessively cheerful, high, feeling on top of the world” are capturing how someone feels inside, their mood. Mood descriptors are the labels we use to document that internal mood state, such as euphoric mood. Lability refers to mood that swings or shifts rapidly, not a single sustained mood. Distractibility is about attention and cognitive performance. Increased goal-directed activity describes observable behavior and energy, not the internal mood itself. So this description best fits mood descriptors, since it specifies the person’s mood rather than their behavior or mood fluctuation.
