A member asked:

Can being happy affect your mental health?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not Simple Question!: Being happy is associated with: having close friendships & satisfying romantic relationships; being liked/admired by others; resistance to illnesses/speedy recovery from them; enjoying life; helping others; etc. But asking people to talk about how happy they are tends to make them sad! and focussing on how to get happy tends to make them quite unhappy! ted talk by dan gilbert: http://bit.Ly/yoiurd.
