Czech term

subnormní forie

Czech to English Medical Psychology
V objektivním psychiatrickém nálezu byla při přijetí na psychiatrii popsána *subnormní forie*, hypohedonie, hypobulie, snížená schopnost soustředění, pocity bezradnosti, bezvýchodnosti, kolísavé úzkostné stavy, akcentované osobnostní rysy...

As far as I know, "phoria" in English refers to "deviation of the eyes", but here "forie" seems to be a term related to "euphoria" and "dysphoria".

Discussion

Dylan Edwards (asker) Jan 9, 2018:
Thanks to all who responded. I think I should have given more context: this is about abuse of medication, and specifically about the behaviour and emotional state of young people who have taken excessive doses of cough medicine (medication containing DXM).
Hannah Geiger (X) Jan 8, 2018:
Most likely, Dylan Perhaps the doctor is referring to forie i.e. phoria simply as a medical suffix, i.e. "feeling" "emotional state". I am saying this because of the various sentences he/she is using it in. -phoria. 1 suffix meaning "(condition of the) visual axes of the eye": anophoria, esophoria, exophoria. 2 suffix meaning an "emotional state": adiaphoria, euphoria, ideaphoria.
Dylan Edwards (asker) Jan 8, 2018:
I'm inclined to think that the word 'forie' refers to the patient's general emotional state / mood. I've found these other examples:

Forie subdepresivní, intermitentní anxiosní tenze

Forie v normě

Forie paradoxně elevována, místy žertuje, bohatá spontánní psychotická produkce

I can't find any examples of an equivalent use of 'phoria' in English.
Hannah Geiger (X) Jan 8, 2018:
could be a phobia i.e. fobie
it would fit within the context you have given, not too well with euphoria, of course.

dysphoria

Yes, your conjecture is right, and dysphoria is actually the right word to describe it, as "dis/dys" means an abnormality or disorder.

If it's only slightly below normal, "mild dysphoria" would do.
Note from asker:
My only difficulty here is that the word seems to refer to a mood state which is below normal but not as low as dysphoria. I'm thinking of it now as a 'sub-par mood state'.
I mean that the word 'forie' in itself is neutral - that's how I see it - and the word 'subnormní' denotes something below a norm or midway point between 'eu' and 'dys'.
'Mild dysphoria' - good suggestion!

Aboulia - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aboulia
A case study involving two patients who suffered from acute confusional state and aboulia was conducted to see if these symptoms were the result of an infarct in the capsular genu. Using clinical neuropsychological and MRI evaluations at baseline and one year later showed that the cognitive impairment was still there one ...

The experts used the terms apathy and aboulia interchangeably and debated whether or not aboulia was a discrete entity, or just a hazy gray area on a spectrum of more defined disorders.[6] Four of the experts said aboulia was a sign and a symptom, and the group was split on whether or not it was a syndrome .[6] Another survey, which consisted of true and false questions about what aboulia is distinct from, whether it is a sign, symptom, or syndrome , where lesions are present in cases of aboulia, what diseases are commonly associated with aboulia, and what current treatments are used for aboulia, was sent to 15 neurologists and 10 psychiatrists. Most experts agreed that aboulia is clinically distinct from depression, akinetic mutism, and alexithymia.[6] However, only 32% believed aboulia was different from apathy, while 44% said they were not different, and 24% were unsure. Yet again, there was disagreement about whether or not aboulia is a sign, symptom, or syndrome
