English term or phrase: euthymia

What would "euthymia" and "euthemic" be in Afrikaans? I can't find it in my dictionaries, but based on the translation of disthemia and euphoria I conclude that it must be "eutiemie", "eutieme" and/or "eutiemies". Is this term in your dictionary?

normale, redelik positiewe, nie-depressiewe bui

Explanation:
Uit my woordeboek: "Euthymia is a word used for indicating a normal non-depressed, reasonably positive mood."

Dalk eers 'n beskrywing en dan 'eutemies', 'eutemiese'?

Ongelukkig kry ek nie 'n Afrikaanse ekwivalent êrens nie. En geen hits daarvoor in enige van die mediese tekste wat ek het nie.

So miskien ook: goeie bui?

Ek soek nog, maar ek dink jy's waarskynlik meer reg met 'tiemie' as ek met my 'temie'. Ja, beslis as Theresa se woordeboek die 'tiemie' vorm aandui

Asker: Do you stand by your conversion of "thymia" to "emie" and not "iemie" or "imie"?
