«Dependence indicator: This field flags ADR terms that are indicators of possible drug dependence. Please note that in the old Type D list only reports on 'drug dependence' and 'drug abuse' were listed whereas in the Combinations/Associations Database the number of 'dependence terms' has been extended to also include: 'Withdrawal syndrome', 'Withdrawal syndrome neonatal', 'Withdrawal convulsions', 'Stupor', 'Amnesia', *****'Euphoria'****** and 'Emotional lability'. The flagged terms are selected from the result of a study performed by the UMC aiming to find terms that could be used to forewarn of possible drug dependence. The result from this study is an internal report. Dependence indicators are marked (Y); for all other terms this field is blank. (This field is only used in Cumulus)»This is a bit off topic but am I the only one who finds it revolting that the United Nations (through the World Health Organization) works really hard to make sure no one on the planet *suffers* from drug-induced euphoria?
