I don’t think that’s categorically correct 🤔… let me look that up…

I just asked meta ai:

“What term describes the mental state opposite of “depression”?”

It said this:

“The mental state opposite of depression is often described as "euphoria" or "mania," but a more nuanced and sustainable opposite would be "flourishing" or "well-being."

Other antonyms of depression include:

1. Joy

2. Happiness

3. Optimism

4. Contentment

5. Satisfaction

6. Exhilaration

7. Elation

In psychological terms, the opposite of depression can be characterized by:

1. Positive affect

2. Resilience

3. Emotional stability

4. Self-esteem

5. Purpose

Mental health professionals often use the following terms to describe the opposite of depression:

1. Mental well-being

2. Emotional well-being

3. Psychological well-being

4. Flourishing (as per Seligman's PERMA model)

Keep in mind that mental health exists on a spectrum, and individuals may experience varying degrees of depression and its opposites.”

So…. Yea…. Ai os often just plain wrong, but I’m gonna stick with “joy” this time
