  Neuroleptic dysphoria
Dysphoria persisting over time, may lead to adverse clinical consequences such as treatment non-adherence, substance abuse, poor clinical outcome, increased suicidality and compromised quality of life.
Interference with the physiological processes of hedonic capacity by the neuroleptics due to their dopaminergic blocking action in the prefrontal cortex and the shell of nucleus accumbens is the putative mediating mechanism underlying the occurrence of dysphoric responses.
CONCLUSION: Viewing neuroleptic dysphoria within a broader spectrum of disorders of subjective tolerability and exploring its neurobiological mechanisms is relevant to addressing the nuances of antipsychotic therapy, and could help unravel the questions surrounding the pathophysiology of depression, substance abuse and other dysphoric clinical states.

 Naltrexone ( Trexan ) -induced dysphoria
Since activation of opioid receptors produces a sense of well-being, naltrexone's blockade of these receptors might produce dysphoria, which could contribute to noncompliance among addicts under treatment.
To test this hypothesis, the authors administered naltrexone to four men who had been free of opioids for 9 to 44 months using a 6-week, placebo-controlled crossover design.
The results suggest that naltrexone may induce mild dysphoria long after addicts stop using opioids.

He defines dysphoria as: "...primarily a combination of depression, rage, anxiety, and despair.
It is often from the mixed soup of unpleasant and often very painful emotions that borderlines can become destructive generally or self-destructive in desperate attempts to get out of this emotional state.
We feel less at home in ourselves." This speaks to the fact that in the development of Borderline Personality Disorder, (often) it is this shaming that results in the kind of disconnection for self that inhibits or utterly blocks one's ability to develop a healthy personality.

 Gender Dysphoria & Autogynephilia
The hypothesis asserts that the various discriminable syndromes of nonhomosexual gender dysphoria are the results of autogynephilia interactions with additional, constitutional, or experiential factors.
The occurrence of such fantasy should not, however obscure the essential feature of the homosexual type: Homosexual gender dysphorics are directly aroused by the objective features of the male physique, especially the sight and feel of the male genitalia, and this arousal in not dependent on the mediation of cross-gender fantasy.
The notion that the nonhomosexual gender dysphorias are variant forms of the same disturbance predicts that the heterosexual, bisexual, and analloerotic groups will report developmental histories similar to one another and dissimiliar from the homosexual group.

 Is Gender Dysphoria Dysphoric? (Article text)
Anyone expressing a desire to change an important facet of their life might be suspected of being dysphoric about their current circumstances, but whether this presumed dysphoria actually exists, can be detected by our measurement instruments, and ever reaches the level of clinical depression are empirical questions.
Accordingly, we thought it important to assess the extent to which CGN, as measured by FGI, is in fact associated with dysphoria and to that extent might account for some of the differences in depression observed between heterosexual and homosexual male samples.
On the other hand, we have fairly strong evidence that gender dysphoria is dysphoric: It was the Core Gender Identity factor of the FGI that best accounted for the elevated levels of anxiety and depression seen in our sample.
