A drug or substance that produces euphoria, a state of intense happiness or well-being.
From 'euphoria' + '-ant' (suffix meaning 'causing' or 'producing'). Emerged in medical terminology in the 20th century to classify substances by their psychological effects.
Euphoriants work by flooding your brain with dopamine and serotonin, which is why they're addictive—your brain remembers that intense happiness and desperately wants it again, creating one of the hardest battles in neuroscience.
